Just finished building my Odyssey. Weight came out at exactly 13 kilos. No added weight. Powered by Jetcat P130.
I am a bit concerned by the lack of give in the oleos. Even full of fuel, it takes a lot of downward pressure on the model to get the oleos to start to compress.
They are the Top RC oleos.
Anyone else had this problem & bad effects on landing?

Flew the Odyssey for the first time today. Turbine Jetcat P130. Cortex gyro at 50%. FRSky Horus 10S Tx, 2 X8R Rx's & an RB-20 redundancy bus. Everything went well. Most of the flights were at less than half throttle. Had five flights & got everything set up as I like. It is a really nice model to fly once you get it set up.
I found the suggested aileron throws too much for me & the first flight was interesting as a result.
It certainly is a floater, even with 70mm flap & 12mm of crow. I may increase the flap to 80mm.

Hello.....
I am in the slow process of building my KT160 powered Odyssey and have a question. Is there an ideal dimension the turbines exhaust snout should enter the thrust tube?
TIA
Rbt in Milwaukee!

The pipe beginning is the stainless steel and not the bell

Andy is a real good guy, I’m sure he will take care of you. I have 2 of his motors. I had an issue with one at about the 2.5hr mark. He swapped it out for a new one under warranty. He also has the JTM stuff. I have been eyeballing either the l39 or the viper. Just can’t find much current info on them.
