RE: Kyosho Osmose 70, Sort of build thread (slow..)
Got an hour working on the Osmose yesturday evening and finished the folowing:
- Tail wheel assembly
- Rudder pull-pull system
Just a little comment on the tail wheel assy... NEAT!!! Easy to assemble and looks like it will work great!
The only "negative" comment I would like to add is that the pre-drilled hole in the fuse (for the tailwheel foundation) needs to be enlargened to Ø6mm (if I remember correctly..), and the instruction manual shows a Ø3mm hole in the rudder. This should be Ø5mm (again, if I remember correctly...). Not really a show-stopper!
I don't like threading the pull-pull wire directly onto the servo horns, so I bought DuBro Ball-links. Also, the plastic linkage in the hardware pack looked a bit too soft, so I changed them..
I had a couple of MK horns laying around, so I added these for the rudder. The rudder has a hardwood dowel built in, so just drill a hole and fin in place! The pre-drilled holes in the fuse were perfectly aligned.
The control horns for the elevators were started, but I'll have to finish this job next week or so. Tonight I'm packing for the last contest in the Norwegian cup at Tynset... Competition days Friday through Sunday.
