Here are some vids from my odyssey after 9 flights. The JP retracts and brakes from Mandy are working great.

I have just received my Odyssey. The retract & brake controller seems to be an updated version from the one supplied a couple of years ago.
Does anyone have a link to the manual sheet for this new controller, as I can only find the sheet for the older version, or photos of the wiring connections?
This new version has no positive, or negative symbols on it, so I have no idea which way the wires are plugged in.
I am also wondering if the manual button works with just the battery & the retracts attached?

Good luck getting an instruction sheet. I asked for one when I first received my Odyssey about 5 months ago.
I havent been able to get the retracts to work with just the controller but they are supposed to.
I will attach a sheet they sent me with mine.
the red/signal wires orient to the top of the controller. Black to the bottom.
Hope this helps

Also, check the wires that come from the brakes. I found that the connector is wired wrong. The red wire should be in the outside pin not the middle. I modified an extension so the red wire went to the signal or outside pin and the black stayed on the other outside pin.

Many thanks for the info. I found this vid on You tube which shows a guy testing the retracts without the Tx or Rx. He is using a servo tester plugged into the Rx retract port of the controller. I tried this & it works.
With your info & his vid, all should be ok.

Just finished building my Odyssey. Weight came out at exactly 13 kilos. No added weight. Powered by Jetcat P130.
I am a bit concerned by the lack of give in the oleos. Even full of fuel, it takes a lot of downward pressure on the model to get the oleos to start to compress.
They are the Top RC oleos.
Anyone else had this problem & bad effects on landing?
