Date posted: January 30, 2007

The 2007 Polecat Challenge is gearing up to be the best it’s ever been, and registration is NOW OPEN!

We are still in the planning stages as to all of the events we’re going to cram into 3 days of flying, but it’s looking like we’re going to have a Pro/Am contest on Friday for all of you new to competition.  Should be a blast! 

Pre-paid registrations ONLY this year, though walk-ups will be accepted barring frequency conflicts.  $45 for the 3-day registration!  $25 for 1-day!   

Guppies on their way!

We are proud to announce a new acquisition here at Polecat Aeroplane Works - the Guppy from Mitja SerÅ¡en of Slovenia.  Mitja has designed an excellent little motorglider, and we are very excited that Mitja has agreed to allow us to produce his kits!  It will be all CNC cut parts with Mitja’s excellent plans.  We’re gearing up the CNC router right now and we’ll have kits available in the very near future.

Thanks to Mitja’s excellent design and our CNC process, it will be a snap to get this all-balsa, gosh-darn-cute electric sailplane from kit-to-sky in no time!  Want more info?  For now, check out Mitja’s thread on RCGroups: GUPPY Electric Sailplane Building & Flying.

 

More info soon - check back often!

You asked for it - and we made it!  After many, many requests for a poly version of our massively popular XP-series DLG, we are proud to present the XP-5: Poly Edition!

All of the innovations of the XP-5 series, but with a polyhedral wing.  We’ve added a little twist for handlings sake, and our test-pilots tell us that it launches straight with no rudder preset.  Get one now for the introductory price of only $389!  Kit out out with our ultra-light accessories, and see if you can crack the 8 ounce barrier!
