My Osmose 70 arrived from Espirit Models of Florida. They went a little extra on the package as they packed the model with foam peanuts and covered the model box with a heavy cardboard. I am glad they did as the model is in great condition. Kyosho has put together a quality ARF as the glued joints are well done compared to other ARFs I have purchased. They even sealed areas exposed to possible fuel contamination. I have followed your build thread and enjoyed every bit of your efforts. I hope to see your models complition and that you have many enjoyable flights. The past two weekends here in Pittsburgh, Pa have been very high winds and today is snow. So I have to get busy on the Osmose 70 and be ready for that unexpected good weekend of flying. Again Good Luck.
Thank you!
My model is completed minus the battery and reciever.. I have not got around to test it yet, as both the weather and other comitments has "killed" all weekends... The sun sets at appeox.16:00 now, so flying during the weekdays is a no-go..
I'll drag myself out in my hobby room one day and take some pics of the final build. I have done some smaller alterations since my last post.
I did find that the throttle servo installation was a bit too wobbely, and I would not have gotten a smooth throttle responce.
Also, the external glow-plug assy is in place. I used the KISS principle, so it is now an easy and light solution.
