I've been flying gliders for 40 years and know how to build. I built an Art Hobby model 2 years ago. The quality of materials was good and the instructions clear. One thing that concerned me was they called for the wings to be glued together with NO wing rod, no further strength member other than a glue joint. Against my better judgement, I followed the manufacturers instructions. I epoxied and taped the wings as was called for. On the maiden flight the plane flew beautifully. That was the case until, in a shallow low-speed dive, the main wings folded up like a cheap suitcase. The plane was a total loss as a result. I contacted the manufacturer right away, I explained the event. I pointed out that had a wing rod been installed, the collapse of the wing would not have happened. Rather than consider my viewpoint, the manufacturer immediately replied that a wing rod (or any other further support), was unnecessary. He was TOTALLY unphased, unmoved, and unsympathetic. He offered no compromise at all. I felt at the very least he could offer a discount on a replacement kit. He did nothing. He has his view, I have mine. All I know for sure is the plane blew apart mid-flight. I will never again purchase anything from Art Hobby. The designs look nice, but the total lack of customer care and support warrants no further business from me.

Hi Johan. What size battery do you use for the Odyssey.

When I glass a center section I use 3 layers or 2oz small and getting larger. It sand out better. Thanks for the vids

I noticed you use the expanding Gorilla glue to join the wing halves. You didn't mention that you add any moisture to the glue joint before assembly. Could you tell me if you use any moisture? Thanks, David

Thank you so much Johan for this wonderful video. Because of you and this video I finally have the guts to go ahead and make a hot wire cut Wisel. I made one using flat EPS 1" thick and the RM1 wing shape. It has not been a good experience. I learned from you that the wingroot already includes the ailerons. I never got that from working my way through the Wisel thread. You have given me a great gift. Thank you.

Beautiful plane!

Can u pls give me pdf plan?

Hi. What did you use to apply the fiberglass tape to the centre wing joint? You mention Arthobby sells a suitable resin but what was is it you used? Hoping to build an Arthobby glider soon.

Hi Johan. Are the blocks and holes already made for the carbon wing joiners in the kit or do you have to glue and drill out the holes.

What Foam do you use?

Sir hi. im a quite newbie here, i made the plane like urs but mine didnt fly well...dont know why. Can u please give me specs and CG OF UR PLANE. THANK YOU

do u have a plan for this plane

Very nice vid. I wonder if the ailerons linkage was hidden (you drilled into wing).

Kindly up load drawing

Excellent, very helpful! The paper instruction manual tells you nothing about how to set it up!

Bei der Freimachung der Servoschächte,würde ich grundsätzlich alle 4 Eckpunkte mit 4mm bohren.Damit verhindert man das beim raußtrennen das Balsa weiterreißt.

The weight limit is under 250g. www.casa.gov.au/knowyourdrone/drone-rules

Awesome glider and flights!

I bought my first DF 95 last week and with the help of a friend completed the assembly of it yesterday afternoon. I have yet to do a maiden sail but that will be tomorrow at our club sailing day. Very impressed with the ease of assembly and the instruction manual was very easy to follow. Very impressed. A great addition to my fleet.

…built and crashed…wonderful slim speedy glider on the heavy side…aerobatic and whizzling bypasses…sturdy and woody…perfect for choppy windy days…packs down to 1.50 meters…totally smacked my ones but successfully rebuilt…fully recommended alternative to overprized fragile full composite competition gliders…also check out the art-hobby vortex as an odyssey alternative or double up…or art-hobby sky ec 1-7m as a full wing smaller one…i built lots of these art-hobby wooden winged glider and love them…

Great video, are you able to turn off beeping when the Flysky is idle and not being used apart from turning the unit off.

Question on this.. do I have to use the balance lead or can it be wired into the main lead

Ok, these look fun to build! Is it foam core laminated in plywood?

Thanks for the video mate! What is the range on this setup please? Considering the receiver antenna placement at sea level, We would lose a lot of signal dissipating into the water on 2.4gHZ. With the Flysky receivers, The different models cater for different applications. Which Flysky receiver would be best for across water? I would like to have no anxiety about losing range when say heading to a mark that is 250m away etc. I'm not looking for a mile by any means, But what are they typically getting out to without stressing about signal loss? Thanks to the Uploader and anyone who can help answer this. - from Australia 🙂

Hi Great video ,can you help me,I have a flysky with 10 Chanels.Using 3 on my Boat .l want to add some nav lights.How can i conect This to the radio or reciver.Many Thanks

Do I have to print the root cord template in A3 to get the correct size? If not do I enlarge the size of the template?

Nice video - thanks for sharing. I wonder if the sluggish aileron response is due to super light (flexy) wing twisting slightly the opposite way to the ailerons? Like a trim tab on a full size plane?

Very nice video!

добрый день! скажите какая корневая и концевая хорда размеры?? в начале форума одни размеры , в этом видео другие

Only two coats of sealer on the wing, and that's it?

Bardzo fajnie pokazane jak się sklada model arthobby. Dziękuję

Hello sir where i can find the detail plan for gliders like this

Oh wow, that’s a big Weasel!

i thinking of building something like this, i think yours needs a stabilizer fin tho

Nice!

Hello, can you tell me why you stick the servos of ailerons and flaps? in case of a problem, how do you do it?

Could you plz provide the build details of this lovely slow flyer

What a fun video, and amazing light wind sloping. Discovered your channel via a comment on an older Andrew Newton video. The wise man comment. LOL. (like a punchline to an good inside joke)

That's cool. Cool piece of land also. I want to visit Australia.

Very nice

Funny how it's easier to pull elevator evenly in flight than on the ground.

I am about to put together my Hookl Uglider PNP version. Want to follow the mods that so many others recommend. But with yours, you have needed to throw so much weight to the rear. Is that all only because of the heavier motor and spinner? I will use the stock motor and spinner, at least to start with.

Sehr sauber sehr Professionell hat mir sehr gefallen

The tail boom pushrod install was very clever.

Nice build & flies very well..!

Good idea Johan - Iam just trying this - ruclips.net/video/qkhX2dJ3Cqk/видео.html

I love mine! I’ve had a hard time with it in the wind though, how did you handle lt?

Awesome video from Indiana

There's something really cool about a super slow plane 😃.
