Hi all
My Odyssey arrived some days ago and the quality is stunning.
I have a question about the tank system:
On page 10, picture #33 in the instruction manual a third (hopper?) tank is shown, whilst here in this thread no such item can be seen.
Can somebody explain?
Thank you, Daniel

I pulled mine out this afternoon for assembly. That is a UAT "air trap" NOT supplied with the kit.

I have mine all spread out and starting to put servos in today. One thing I did notice was the fuel tank clunks needed to be drilled out for a better flow. The opening was to small for my liking.

Hello Lior
Thank you for your attention!
As a 'Jet-Newcomer' I was a bit confused by the fact that nothing was written about the UAT in the manual. I didn't know that nowadays they look the way your UAT
looks like. I had in mind and I was looking for a kind of plastic tank we use in gas engine models. This was the reason I didn't recognize it in your building thread... Things change!
As I found out there are different sizes and makes available. Had a look at FCT items. How big should I buy one? Turbine will be 12- or 14 kgs of thrust.
I guess the details of positioning and connecting will be in the manual of the UAT.
Thank you for your help!
Regards from Switzerland, Daniel

Hello Daniel.
There are many types of UATs on the market, i do think FCT makes the best stuff. 100ml is a good size for your Odyssey, it is what i use in mine.
for some different types (including FCT) have a look at my local dealer's website:
http://www.skytoysrc.com/accessories/air-traps-uat.html

I
can help with any type of connection question should you have any.

where can i get the festo bulkhead fitting you placed in the fuse bottom for air vent use..

how are the tires holding up on yours. i got to see one in person new and they felt like very solid rubber ones no flex or hollowness to them.

also the servo extensions you use have a clip end on them where are they purchased from

thanks in advance for any help
