The Odyssey is ready to take the sky

[genovia]

Hello All,

After spending a month building this plane (Off and On) I finally put her together, the only part, that I find myself, taking lot's of time to figure out, was the sheeting of the wings. First time, that I had to sheet a wing before, and to my surprise, it's a piece of cake:)

Specs:

Wing Span - 60"
Wing Area - 370 sq.in.
Wing loading - 8 - 9 oz./ sq. ft.
Ready weight - 22 - 24 oz.
Airfoil - SD 7037
Motor - 6 volt Speed 400
ESC- FMA mini 20
Battery Pack - 7 cell 600AE

I will try her out stock first, afterward I'm planning to upgrade the motor to Mega 7T for vertical. She's not a speedster, but I just want to make sure that she reach the termals first:D

If, I can configure Lil Polys cells to run 400SP, I will probably stick with the 400SP can.

I flew her stock 400 motor, 6x3 cam prop. she is a beauty, as soon, as it left my hands, she climb like you don't believe. I tried low pass fly by to see if she stalls in any way, nothing. Spiral dive, she handled it well, rolls are crisp of a Sailplane, which I particularly liked, she chased her tail, as soon, as she hit a thermal.

I give this plane my Highest keepers vote 10.

Flight Duration 15-25.:)
