Hi Lior
As I wrote before I am a newcomer to the jet scene. Up to now I flew big gas engine models and an electric (12S) Pilatus PC-21.
At least in the gas engine models we always are aware of the vibrations and the equipment is chosen to withstand these problems. To you and all the other jet pilots this is of non importance, I know...
I saw that you use one single receiver with the DPSI Mini Magic and the Cortex Black Demon Gyro. In Europe quite a lot of jet people fly the Powerbox Mercury SRS equipped with two receivers e.g. Futaba R7008SB. In this case redundancy is assured.
In one way I would like to have things as secure as possible (2 receivers) but the whole also as easy as possible,
With the DPSI one only receiver can be used, with the Powerbox Mercury two (SRS)
Which gyro is easier in programming? What would you suggest?
Thank you for your suggestions and best regards from Switzerland, Daniel

can one of you owners reply with the length of pushrods needed for the surfaces. i wish to buy nice ones from booma rc or such but need to know what size to get for each surface.
I FOUND THE ANSWER IN THE MANUAL I DOWN LOADED
SORRY

and the single Rx setup works very well for me - i have flown both single and dual receiver setups for many years, and find the single works very well.
i really like this setup - well priced, reliable and very effective.

Of course...but what did YOU put in ?
For me : 300 g in the nose (no pilot, no black plastic cockpit, 2 x 2S 3000 for réception near steering wheel, 4000 mah for turbine, 2 x 400 mah for brakes and train, king tech 120 and powerbox Mercury).

Hi all
Can you tell me what size of Intairco-Hopper I should use for a Kingtech 14kg Turbine? (175 ml or 250 ml)
Don't know if there is enough space to put it next to the front gear in 90° angle to flight direction...
Thanks, Daniel

My Feedback: (3)
Pattern planes (odyssey type) are very predictable and stable, however, when it comes to slowing down certain airframes, it might be a bit difficult, and from many videos I have seen Odyssey has a tendency to float and needs quite some runway. Unfortunately I do not have the luxury on having a long runway where I fly. Our field is located on top of a hill at 1400m altitude it is 120 meters paved runway surrounded by rocky/sandy valley scenery .
I have no problem flying my Boomerang Intro and XL as well as HSD Super Viper. Thought though it was time for a change and maybe for a change the Odyssey could be a candidate??
Under above circumstances Landing speed and possibility is the only criteria to chose adequate jet.
Regards,

its a very clean airfrmae and as such doesnt slow down very fast - crow mix helps, and its possible to fly it on 120m, but it will take moderately good piloting skills to keep it 100% safe.

That is actually a great question and i am very happy you asked!
The T1 / Odyssey are in fact different from the UF.
The UF is designed to withstand extreme loads, and flys completely different then these two. Faster and heavier. A 2.4m odyssey weighs nearly the same as a 2.1m UF!
The T1 and Odyssey are more of the modern style sport jets, for more "floating", slower precise aerobatics.
While both are quite capable of flying fast, they are not a UF in that sense. The odyssey is faster than the T1 though.
With that being said, the flying i do with both is where i feel comfortable, part of the UF speed experience is that i never felt comfortable flying slow aerobatics with it (did like the high speed stuff!), while with these the more graceful flying feels right at home. So naturally this ia where my flying style goes when i fly them, and im very happy with this transition.
Another reason for at least the Odyssey flying being a bit more cautious in these videos is that these are just the first 2 maiden flights, of a new model i dont know well yet, and is not yet 100% tuned (CG, control throws) to my liking. So once i get a few more flights in, i will surely make more videos, of higher speed flying also.
Bottom line, they are all great models, the odyssey is much bigger than the UF, feels much lighter, and easier.
If you want to fly like a scolded cat, get a UF and if you want a larger, easier floatier sport jet with great capabilities (significantly cheaper too) get the Odyssey.
About the 2 piece fuselage, while i didnt build mine as a 2 piece design, im sure that if you do, it will be very easy to assemble.
The 2 piece fuse assembles together with 6 M6 screws and you can build the entire fuel system on the back fuse, with only electrical wiring connectors at the joint.
Thank you for the feedback, i do appriciate it very much, and look forward to enjoying this new exciting jet and sharing the results

models are very different in almost every way.
i enjoy them both.
structurally the odyssey is probably a bit more robust since its not made of airex sandwich.
the airex is what makes the T1 so light giving it its great flight qualities.
both are really good models. just different. you cant go wrong with either.
