As with any ARF is is a good idea to go over allthe covering with medium heat when you first start. The Fusions are no different. Go over all the edges of the covering with your covering iron and medium heat. Any loose edges of covering can be tacked down with trim solvent or even thin ca if you know how to use. I did all this even on my 35% aeroworksyak.

I notice that there is a differnce between the ARF fusion and the Kit FUSION in regards to the number and placement of hinges( the kit has more) should the arf be upgraded to the # called for in the kit?
The ARF has plenty of hinges and we haven't had any issues with the hinges. Hinging is one of those personal preferences on models - folks tend to do hinges they way they like to do them. Some folks use a lot of CA hinges and others like point hinges such as Dubros.

Mike if I order a Fusion 90 as of right now will it be Ultra Cote? I love my 52" Fusion ARF but will need to recover it. I don't want the 90 size to be the same way.

Sorry to double post if you guys saw my other thread. I am just so happy with how my 52" came out. I wanted all to see it. Bottom is 2"x2" Ultracote. Rest is Monocote. Metalic green,yellow,white and red.

Here's mine... Began it's life as a white ARF that I got from y'all a few months ago while they were on sale. Maidened today. Flies great. Got about 4 tanks run through it. Saito 82 for power. Great knife edge and KE spins. On final flight for the day, I noticed the gear was lagging toward the rear of the plane a bit. Flew it around the pattern a few times and decided it was just an optical illusion... NO. It was obvious that the top LG bolt had fallen out when the gear "retracted" to the leading edge of the wing on my otherwise smooth landing. Gear just neatly folded back with no damage whatsoever. My mistake for not tightening, I guess. It was actually pretty funny. Unfortunately, no one was there to witness. Again, very good plane. I think I might try an Edge kit...

Thanks Mike... I have a question for you with the 40 size tetherite gear. I have one that a friend gave me a while back. The mounting holes are drilled 1 1/8" center to center. Is this the same as the newer ones that you guys carry or are they drilled to bolt right up to the ARF 's pre drilled location, which is a bit larger? Thanks.

The Tetherite I bought was not drilled. Great covering job. I like the way you did not wrap the black over the top. I never thought about doing it like that.
