Thanks! You'll be getting a payment from me shortly.

Wow,
Its been a while since I've posted here! Well, the Odyssey sales have been going well. I think CMASS is responsible for most of the secondary sales to folks who saw the fantastically built models of Bob H and John Harland at club launches. Thanks guys!!! Eagle 3, did you get yours finished yet?

Anyway, the next kit is underway. It is not at all as time consuming as the Odyssey, but it would still rate as a level 3 nowadays. I will post more news as it gets closer to completion.

If I may be so bold, I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm looking forward to seeing what's next, Scott.

It's about 30%. A lot of things came up after I started. I'm back home, things are calming down, and I see some free time coming up. The Odyssey is one of several bench projects I hope to finish in the next couple of months.

So, any hints or are you going to make us suffer and guess? *LOL*

Much as it pains my wallet to say it, I can't wait to see your next kit, Scott!
I am looking forward to finally flying my Odyssey this weekend if the wind stays down.
Drew

Well,
I'll say this about it. It is a detailed remake of a discontinued kit. It will be a quicker build than the Odyssey. At least 10 resin cast parts will be included for detail and ease of construction. The decals will be coated with Micro Scale decal film for durability and easier application. And Drew, I have already set the price at $25 come hell or highwater so it will be less painful to the wallet than the Odyssey. I need to test fly the prototype, be sure of all my molds and have things at a no turning back point before I release pictures and such. If I don't think that I can surprise people with my creations I get bored with them and don't finish them.

-Scott

Finally got the Odyssey in the air. I flew her on a B4-2 in a pretty good wind. Beautiful flight, but the parachute snagged and she cracked a fin on landing. It's a clean break at the root so repair will be easy. It is a beautiful sight in the air.

Great pics! Do you have a close-up or has it already been posted? One piece of advice I might give you. Don't store it resting on the rear fins. I did and mine has stress cracks along the joint. You'd be better off storing it in the launch position.
