I'm building one of these for a friend, he brought the plane over tonight and I have a couple questions..
Looks like the only way to get the thrust tube out of the fuse is to remove the bell mouth? Is there another trick I haven't thought of? Getting it back on while inside the fuse will be fun.
Has anyone ordered turnbuckles for all the control surfaces and happen to have the sizes they used?
Does anyone have pics of the mods required for the Electron gear?
Anyone have pics showing how they routed the wires around the fuel tanks and the transition from the rear fuse half to the front?
I measured the CG and was surprised to see that 220mm is the leading edge of the wing tube, we will be shooting for 215-200 CG.

2. CG at 220mm is a great starting point. most people go even further backwards. of you go with 200-215mm expect a nose heavy jet - trust me start with 220mm and enjoy

3" Ailerons
3 1/2" Elevators and Rudder
You can rotate the pipe around enough to get bell on and off easily
I don't remember if I modified anything for Electrons or not....don't think so
i just routed wires up side of tank. I did make a tray under the tank. It needs to be raised a bit or pickup nipple interferes with equipment tray if I remember correctly
Splitting the tray makes maintenance easier as well

Hello people, I recently obtained the odyssey sport jet, unfortunately when unboxing, I found out that there where 4 control horns missing and no where to be found.
I've tried contacting Gator Rc but it has been impossible, Does anyone know where i could buy the same or similar control horns for the odyssey and if not, what alternatives would you advise me to purchase.

I am busy with an Odyssey build and I too will be putting in a SW190. Did you add any modifications to the frame to accommodate the larger turbine?

I have put in a HAWK Turbine 240 in mine , its 130mm diameter turbine with a weight of about 2,8kg. I hace cut of the intakes in order to be able to move the turbine forvard , close the wing tube , I have made a new fuel tank at about 3,8l that is closer CG,
The turbine mount is too low in the Odysey I had to rise the turbine about 16mm to get the trust line correct .
I´m 15,8kg empty , with almost 4 liter of fuel and 2 liter of smoke fluid is the trust nice to have , The plane flyes realy nice!! trust line seems to work great!

Tomas
