OK, thanks.


I think it would go well with a turbine 12 Kg.

The Warrior has arrived in the UK now. I will be putting a KingTech 120 in it and doing a review and build... ;-)

Hello Guys,

i would like to share my CG / Throws settings for the Odyssey Sport Jet. these settings would help anyone who is building one have a good starting point.

Note: All measurements are taken at control surface root.

Ailerons: 28mm both ways (will probably add some differential in the future), 45% Expo
Elevator: 28mm both ways, 30% Expo
Rudder: 50mm both ways, 30% Expo
Flaps Takeoff: 25mm with 2mm down elevator compensation
Flaps Landing: 80mm with 4mm down elevator compensation
Cortex Gyro gain: 60%

CG: currently 220mm back from leading edge at wing root, i recommend starting with 215mm.

Total weight with UAT full, full cockpit + pilot figure, 5000 mAh 2S Lipo hardcase Turbine battery and two 2200mAh 2S Lipo Rx batteries - 13.97Kg.

For me these settings make a very easy to fly, very predictable Jet.
I do hope they help others as well.
Thanks for reading.

Changed the wing conenction to Emcotec "Click Connect" connectors. these are heavy duty conenctors with a "click" locking mechnism - very cool and make assembly at the field an absolute breeze!

Check them out:

Hey have any of you guys had issues with how the wings, rudder and elevators are held on using those screws which clamp a dowel in position.? My Rudder rocks back and forth and I'm not convinced about the ability of these clamps to hold the fins and wings in place. ?
