Did you see the clip on what OMP is offering at Toledo? There are some good looking planes there.

Sure did Fred. Lot's of really cool stuff headed their way. Glad to see they are correcting the covering issue more than anything.

Jay, that looks like a Copperhead Aviation plane, maybe the one shown on the Toledo clip at the OMP booth. It wasn't on the OMP web site, where did you get the plane/picture?

I am happy to hear OMP is picking up the Copperhead Aviation planes, I have the "Stiffy" Extra and the YAK foamies which are better than any other foamie I've seen. The foam is about 3/4" thick and with a bonded covering they call snake skin, and powered with a Hacker 20 motor. Really rugged.

I know this is a Fusion thread, but also an OMP perhaps (?).

Regards, FRED

FRED, It is an Extra Stiffy Fusion. Nah not really. I bought the all white Fusion and trimmed it after my extra stiffy. One of a kind I think.

Thanks for the comeback, I'm still grinning. I love the color scheme, and it is also on my stiffy and the Copperhead Aviation "woody" shown in the Toledo OMP clip which you may have seen.
From what I've observed, you did the smart thing buying the white Fusion and trimming it.
Question: Have you been able to get a really good flat spin with the Fusion? In my club we have a really good 3D pilot who repeatedly hovered and tail touched his U-Can-Do 46. Then he bought two Mojo 65 planes. Then he bought a Fusion and he prefers the Fusion to any plane he has ever owned. He loves the plane's performance. However, he hasn't been able to get a good flat spin.
My two best upright or inverted "really flat" spinning planes are my Twist and a Spinsation from Morris Hobbies. Climbing inverted flat spin anyone?
I hope you will comment.
Regards, FRED

Fred, The flat spin is decent but not like the short coupled mojo I'm shure. Now the knife edge spin is really good. Yes I prefer this airplane over all others for EXTREME 3D or things I'm not yet willing to do with my 35% Yak. Larry and I will do side by side rudder in the grass torque rolls on every flight with these things. They really spoil you the way they are so light and powerfull with the OS 120s we are running. We stage in side by side hover and have vertical drag races, that is an incredible blast off. Larry said it's the only plane he worried about fluttering going vertical. Yeah, did I mention we love Fusion!!

Sounds like your YAK should be pretty awesome.
I'm not surprised you also like the Fusion, maybe Larry should buy a white one and trim it in his own color scheme.
My friend, Dave is running a YS 110 in his Fusion and is very happy with a 15-6 prop.
He has a YS 140 in his Mojo 65.
Is your OS a 2 or 4 cycle and which size/pitch prop are you using? Maybe I will have to get a Fusion even with the present covering. I have an older YS 120 on a Dave Patrick bipe I will probably use on my Fusion.

We finally have some good flying weather coming up this week.

Have fun and thanks for your comments... FRED

This looks like the ARF profile to get. I just got mine in the mail and will be putting an OS46FX on it. Should be lots of fun!

Give a reply to this thread and let us know how it works for you. I assume
you will be putting a .46 on the smaller Fusion, not the 90 size.

Boys and our toys...FRED

Yep, The little one--just looking for a plane that I can feel good about flying very aggressively but is fully capable. I wanted a Yellow or white one, but they are out of those so I got a full scheme one. I plan to put a HS81 on the throttle & 425's, standard receiver and 3.75oz 6v battery. Hope the covering stays on.

WOW

Not underpowered, is it? What a gr-r-r-r-r-eat package. Now I understand why you said Larry worries about flutter going vertical. I assume he has the same package.

Thanks for the comeback... FRED
