Odyssey
LMT1010


Turbine powered helicopters like the Odyssey are now a common sight at flying events and are being flown more often at local clubs. The Odyssey by Len Mount is no surprise, Len has taken his successful bottom mount scale mechanics and has produced a full helicopter. Once you have seen the Odyssey up close you will be impressed with the robust frame construction and very compact layout for the Jakadofsky gas turbine engine.

This is a new era for turbine helicopters that are much more reliable and less complicated. The Odyssey was developed with simple design goals for reliability and strength. The Odyssey's mechanical layout and drive train design have flexibility built-in that enable the Odyssey to be offered in left or right hand rotation and in different gear ratios. The Odyssey's entire drive train is geared for greatly improved durability, simple maintenance and gear ratio changes. Spiral bevel gears deliver immense power very smoothly to the rotor head and minimize wear on the drive train.

Each Odyssey is factory assembled into the major components to ensure that helicopter is built to factory specifications. While the mechanics are assembled, the fuel plumbing, radio installation and engine configuration are still required to be completed before the first flight. The Odyssey is manufactured from nearly all CNC machined components, including the side frames, bearing blocks, rotor head and tail gear box. The canopy is fiberglass and lightweight for its size.

The Odyssey can be purchased as a complete assembled helicopter without engine or in a kit version. The kit version requires the radio tray, tail boom, torque tube drive, landing gear, linkage and rotor head to be assembled by the customer along with the turbine engine intallation. As the Jakadofsky turbine engines continue to evolve, we can recommend the most suitable gear ratio for the Odyssey or Turbine mechanics. We can also customize the helicopter to meet your needs, the Odyssey's variable gear ratio makes for a compact bottom mount turbine mechanics for scale builders. We can customize the mechanics with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 multi blade main rotor heads and with different exhaust manifolds. If you are interested in a custom Odyssey, please contact us for further information and pricing.
