A few close ups. The stills of the launch are from a movie I made with the digital camera. I would love to post it, but it is 1.5 KB and I don't know how that would work.
I store it upside down in the closet, BTW.

Drew that is such a gorgeous model! I am sorry to hear about the rough landing, are there any parts that you need for its repair?

-Scott

Scott,
Thanks for the offer! Actually it's a very clean break and an easy repair; I just have to reglue one fin. It will be good as new.
I think I rushed a little and didn't stuff the parachute carefully enough. Another 10 feet and it would have been fine
I'd love to post the AVI somewhere; anybody have any ideas?

I just finished up the main construction of my Odyssey and I have to say it's been one of the most enjoyable kits I've built in a long time. What amazed me the most is how everything went together "just right". When I slid on the BT-80 "mechanism ring" I was half afraid that it would be too tight or there would be slop. Instead, it fit "just right". I would call the Odyssey a skill level 3~4 kit, but the instructions are so well written I think just about anyone could build one. There are so many four star features of this kit I don't know where to start. I already mentioned the instructions which came on a CDROM in pdf format. There are photos for every step and like I said above, it is one of the most well written plans I've ever seen. All of the parts are excellent quality. I'm working on a few other kits and I have parts dings for all of them. No dings on the Odyssey. All the of the extras are a welcome bonus. The plastic detail parts, styrene rods and plastic sheet for making your own details, and most of all the optional lighting kit. That thing is too cool! I didn't realize it alternated blue and red until I set it up. It reminds me of the shimmering nose cones on the Enterprise warp nacelles from the original Star Trek series.

I know I'm missing some other cool details, but I think everyone gets the idea. *LOL* I'm really impressed with the Odyssey and can't wait to see Scott's next kit. What ever it is, put me down for TWO!!!!

Thank you for your kind words about the Odyssey The next kit will have a smaller parts count but still the same attention to detail. It is not a sci-fi kit but it definately has a "wicked" look to it. I am about a 3rd of the way through the written instructions and awaiting a huge tube order. With any luck the next Rokitflite kit is only a couple months away

Scott, thank you for producing such a cool kit! Here's a nekid shot without any details. I still haven't decided on a paint scheme.

Very nice!

It's even more impressive once the details get added. The hard part is knowing when to stop.
