No, my turbine is not extinguished.
I think he did not like the full flaps during the last corner.
I saw that you use a CORTEX PRO, what are your settings.
Because I'm going to install one in my next ODYSSEY.
Thank you.

Don't feel to bad, I lost mine on 1st flight a week ago, just before landing time. So sucks... I got a bad servo all I can figure.
I only found one bad servo after the crash, one on the right elevator was locked in the down position and no damage to that elevator or stab.
Terrible way to loose a nice jet. And they were new servos. At least mine hit the top of a tree branch and just fell, everything inside was recovered for another build.
I also fly giant planes all the time for years, but be aware, the jets will stall easier if they get to slow, and no recover time like the giant prop planes I fly.
Good luck in the future, keep em moving.
I will be buying another soon as I really liked the jet, and although I only flew one flight, I loved the way it felt in the air.
Wish you the best.

It's a shame to break are model for a malfunction on the servos.
Anyway I too will resume an ODYSSEY very soon it was my first jet but I felt really quiet right away.
I just have to make it lighter than the previous one, which I found a bit heavy compared to all the info that I can read here and there.

I also think it should be required to get the amps coming out of a pack by hooking up servo amp meter and keeping the model on just sitting for 10 - 20 minutes
I've saved more than 1 model doing this including the odyssey and on the odyssey it was steering servo getting stuck in center position ... the servo case was hot to the touch and the amp meter was reading more than 1.5 amps with nothing moving, just went by process of elimination to find the servo.
Second mode was my comp arf hawk, the elevator servos weren't resting in neutral correctly, ... warm elevator servos and found the elevator rod needed some adjusting.

airborn900, had same issue with mine. Check the wires that go from the controller to the brakes. The supplied harness from the brake has the red wire in the center of the connector. It should be in the outer (signal) position. I modified a servo extention to correct this.
Also, the controller is programmed (for whatever reason) to release the brakes after 5 seconds. Don't understand why but it is
