- This video show what's involved in building the Art Hobby Odyssey ECL 2.7m electric glider and the skills and tools needed. It also show some of my mistakes, so that you don't have to repeat them. I ordered the glider with the recommended motor, prop, spinner and servos from Art Hobby.
The manual contains step-by-step instructions, but not all steps are included. Some are implicit in the drawing, for example. Others are missing altogether, such as the flaps servo bay and control horn routing. Art Hobby sent me the Silent manual, which did cover the the missing topics.
NOTE: The flaps has the hinge immediately under the bottom (not top, as I say in the video) side.

Very useful and inspiring video. Thx. Left an abo!
Bardzo fajnie pokazane jak się sklada model arthobby. Dziękuję
You're welcome!
Sehr sauber sehr Professionell hat mir sehr gefallen
Super video from someone who is looking at an art hobby plane Cheers
I made the video with people like you in mind, curious about the plane but unsure what's involved in building. Glad you found it helpful!
@@johanbergkvist8834 Thanks Johan, We are in lockdown at present so I thought I would get an Art Hobby kit for something to use up some hours so I went to the euro site and they are not sending to France for the moment ! no luck but I will be getting one when they are back on line Cheers
…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…
Thanks for taking the time to share Johan.... Very informative
You're welcome!
When I glass a center section I use 3 layers or 2oz small and getting larger. It sand out better. Thanks for the vids
The tail boom pushrod install was very clever.
Very nice vid. I wonder if the ailerons linkage was hidden (you drilled into wing).
Bei der Freimachung der Servoschächte,würde ich grundsätzlich alle 4 Eckpunkte mit 4mm bohren.Damit verhindert man das beim raußtrennen das Balsa weiterreißt.
Thx a lot for this video! I am starting to like the concept of ArtHobby planes!
Thank you! It's fun to build them, even if it takes a while.
Very professional! Good job!
Love your work Johan. Very clean.
Thank you!
Enjoyed your building skills and tips 🙂
Thank you!
Johan Bergkvist I got no reply from art hobby Poland so I will try somewhere else and buy one 🙂
Thankyou very much !!! for this short but informatic video .. Greetings
You're welcome!
Really great video, Johan!
Thank you! Hope it helped!
Hi Johan. Congratulations for nice video. I saw that you guide the pushrod for flap or ailerons over the top surface of the wing (or extradós). In all the art hobby sailplane that I built, I routed the pushrods for the wing ailerons and flaps below the underside of the wing. Do you explain what is the better way in order to have best deflection of the movil surfaces?
As the flaps mainly go down, the hinge is at the bottom of the flaps; that way there's no gap when the flaps are not deployed. To get the best leverage, the control horn goes on top. The ailerons goes both ways, so it's easier to use the underside.
Really nice build guide
Thank you!
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.
www.amcsupplies.com.au/product/west-105-epoxy-resin and www.amcsupplies.com.au/product/west-206-slow-hardener
Would the resin that i have with epoxy do the same thing? I have a bottle of hardner and bottle of resin that when mixed makes epoxy. So if i just use the resin maybe that would do for the wing joint fiberglass cloth
@@heron9524 I don't know. But I wouldn't risk it; this join is critical...
@@johanbergkvist8834 thanks.
One final question. When you were fiberglassing the centre joint. You showed it been done on the top part of the wing. Does the underneath of the wing have to be fiberglassed at the centre joint aswell? As in the centre joint that will be sitting on the canopy? Thanks
@@heron9524 Yes, top and bottom both need fibreglassing.
Very nice video!
Thank you!
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ! Johan please can you tell be the power setup you have in the odyssey as it seems the perfect option having watched your flying videos many thanks
Easy. It's the spinner, prop, motor and ESC recommended by and bought from ArtHobby. So the motor is an ART-1300, 35mm spinner, 12x6.5 prop and the Talon 25 ESC. I pair this with a 1300 3S DualSky LiPo (www.modelflight.com.au/dualsky-eco-s-lipo-battery-1300mah-3s-25c.html), which fits nicely inside.
@@johanbergkvist8834 Thanks Johan you are a star. My odyssey ECL should be arriving from Flash in France tomorrow every thing here is getting to be short supply.
Hello sir where i can find the detail plan for gliders like this
Iwould like to know, how you fix push rods into the pod . Betwen pod end and servos, under the wing.
I don't. The pushrods are loose in the pod under the wing. They are attached just behind the servos with glue (glued at 8:03 in the video) and then loose until they reach the balsaboard in the tail. I hope that answered your question?
Hello Johan i just order one can you tell me witch servo you used ? nice video
Hi rob, I went with the recommended ones and bought them from ArtHobby. So HS-65HB for ailerons, rudder and elevator and HS-65MG for flaps.
The hinge plastic is clear colored on my Silent-E not black. Think i cut away too much on my first aileron :(
Been there, done that... My first AH plane was the Skua. I cut straight through that aileron hinge... So my Skua has external tape hinges and they work just fine, so no big deal.
Hello, can you tell me why you stick the servos of ailerons and flaps? in case of a problem, how do you do it?
Do you mean why I glue them in?
@@johanbergkvist8834 Yessss
@@passiondrone25 Because it's easy and that's what the manual said. :) If I ever have to take one out it would get messy depending on the what glue I used.
@@johanbergkvist8834 Yes, it wouldn't be easy to get them out...
Friend please tell me if the fuselage is made by you by vacuum forming or not?
I have no idea. ArtHobby made the fuselage, they would know.
@@johanbergkvist8834 thaanks for promt reply
So nice :) well done.
Thank you!
is that styrofoam skinned with balsa ?
The wings? It's styrofoam skinned with poplar or similar wood. Not balsa.
no carbon spar when joining the wing?
Correct.
Hi, how did the weight turn out ?
880g exluding the LiPo, which adds another 100g.
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.
It's been a while... I don't remember working on them and I don't show it in the video, so I am pretty sure they were installed and drilled by ArtHobby.
Only two coats of sealer on the wing, and that's it?
Yes.
