ART HOBBY Odyssey-EC 2.70

Radio-Controlled Gliders for RC Pilots

Overview

The composite fuselage is made of fiberglass with carbon fiber reinforcements for extra strength. The carbon canopy is removable for easy access to the radio equipment and the propulsion battery. The nuts for the wing fixing screws are already fitted to the fuselage. The very resistant tail boom is made of carbon fiber / fiberglass composite. The nose is cut to receive a motor of 31mm in diameter.

The wings are cut from special density polystyrene foam and cased in black poplar, this veneer is foam bonded with aircraft grade epoxy in a high pressure mold for a flawless, warp free wing. The flaps and ailerons are traced on the cores and will need to be cut. The wing consists of 3 parts, a central part with the flaps and two removable "cheeks" with the ailerons. The wings are designed with an SD7080 aerodynamic profile specially modified for this glider.

The fixed plane of the centreboard is made of fiberglass and carbon fiber. The depth is made from hard balsa planks, it will be mounted in such a way that it remains removable for transport.
