The Fusion Design

Fusion is an original kit designed for experienced modelers with an interest in electric-powered airplane models capable of aerobatics and sport flying. Designed from the beginning to be an electric-powered airplane (rather than an adaptation of a fuel-powered design), the Fusion uses strong, lightweight design and construction for improved flight performance and duration. Fusion is capable of a wide range of aerobatics including large, powerful loops, slow rolls, snaps, and big stall turns. Its thin, nearly symmetrical, progressive airfoil allows for a wide speed range.

The Fusion kit was designed to use any one of the motors listed above. The adjustable firewall allows the builder to adapt other motors. Battery changes are easy. No tools are required and it is not necessary to turn the airplane over or remove the wing to access the batteries.

Fusion’s large size for an electric model and well-balanced controls allow it to fly majestically, smoothly, and predictably in the hands of an experienced R/C pilot. Fusion is not neutrally stable or self-correcting like a R/C trainer, therefore it is not appropriate for beginning pilots.

This kit, intended for the experienced model builder, contains laser cut parts for exceptional fit, quality, and ease of construction. The Fusion plans, drawn with the aid of a computer using professional design software, are a work of art, setting a new standard in kit design. The kit includes laser-cut balsa and lite-ply parts, cowl, full-size plans, a step-by-step instruction manual (with over 100 photos), polished aluminum main landing gear, and a clear streamlined canopy. Fusion's one-piece molded cowl will save you hours of construction time over the more traditional multi-piece cowls.

Fusion sells for $119.95
which includes FREE shipping in the US.
