Default 67in fusion maiden

Put the first 2 flights on my fusion yesterday! This is one rockin profile! I first flew one of these at the 06 ohio huckfest and new i wanted one. Well a few years and seeing one online i found myself with the cash to order one up. I powered it with an O.S 1.20 and xoar 16x6 prop, 1100mah A123's, AR 9000 rx, and JR ST125mg servos. Once i got the OS running and a tank of fuel to start the break in, I leaned it out a bit and went flying. Smooth! take off was quick and vertical was effortless! Took it easy to trim it out then brought it in to lean the engine a bit more. Next time up was another vertical take off followed by a Knife Edge pass. Nice and straight! I don't rember putting in any elevator or ailerons to hold a straight pass. Then i brought it down for a HAKE pass, It went by in the little wind we had at walking pace! Then it was time for a harrier, A bit of wing rock, but I put the nose higher and it went away. I pulled up into a hover and lowered it down, swiped some grass with the rudder and vertical I went! Only problem I've found so far is the elevators flutter with anything more then about half throttle in level flight. I think this may be do to the control horns. They seem a little weak. All in all I'm very happy with the purchase. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something like this. I'm buying a new camera tomorrow, so I'll get some action shots this weekend weather permitting.
