I have been restoring my Odyssey over the winter. Whenever I needed advise Mark was usually around to take my call and offer his help. I also nave ordered various items for the plane and would have them within a week but most of the time within two days. That's great service considering I live in NY.
I've instructed in many GA planes since 1990 and a few ELSA aircraft.
The Earthstar is by far the most enjoyable and best flying plane I have ever flown. Being an instructor I have always brushed up on my slow flight, stalls, lazy eights and so on, this plane performs these maneuvers with ease and safely, always leaving me with a smile. Mark is setting me up with a new Odyssey kit which I will be installing the HKS turbo on. I hope to start work on it this spring and maybe have it flying in 2012.
Just wanted to offer my two cents.

Re: Earthstar Support & Service
Gary,
Glad to hear you like the way the Odyssey flies. I'm a fan of this aircraft although I have never even sat in one. Hopefully I will be getting a ride this season.
What do you mean by restoring your Odyssey? My assumption is that all these Earthstar models are being kept inside a hanger and have not been around long enough to need restoration.
Thanks, Skot

Re: Earthstar Support & Service
Skot,
I removed the old paint and gave it a new paint job, I have a few pictures under the photo's tab. I also installed new fabric, carpet and windows. I removed the two 10 gallon bladder wing tanks and am installing the standard plastic tank behind the seat. The bladder tanks are rated for 6 years maximum before they should be replaced. Anything else that needed attention to make the plane in new condition I did. The Earthstar's hold up very well with time as I found out by going over the entire aircraft.
I had a good experience that will be beneficial when I start building the new one this Spring.
Be careful, if you fly one, you'll buy one.
