Now go to your high rates. Set the expo so at 1/3 stick movement your high and low rate have the same movement. This way the plane will fly the same on high rate as long as your stick movement is 1/3 of the total. I am a thumb flyer and use a lot of stick. If your a pinch flyer maybe 1/4 of the stick throw is enough. This is how I set all of mine up. This is also why a rarely use low rates.

Status: offline 		OS 1.08 should be OK, I had OS 1.20AX, wonderful combo, by far the best flying glow plane I have. ( over 20 yrs flying). @ 7.25 lbs, my thrust/weight was close to a good 50cc class gasser. This plane is deceiving, it needs strong MG servos for ailerons, 5625's were a bit wimpy for this plane.

Status: offline 		5625s are wimpy for a 90 sized model? I have been using these on my ailerons and elev for a 25% wildhare edge 540 and recently a different 25% model. I have been plaining on moving them into either the 80" fusion or 80" edge arfs when they get released next month since droping down to the 90 size would require me to get a diff engine as my os 1.6 would be to big. I knew they where gonna be marginal on the 80" but at 6.6 volts I was hoping they will be enough. I was assuming they would be overkill on the 90 size. What volts were you running them at?

Edit

Im not trying to argue about how much the fusion needs as I really dont know. Im just trying to figure out what one will be the best fit for the equipment I already have. If I drop down to a 90 size I will need a different engine. Its looking like I would either need to grab a smaller engine and drop down to 67" or maybe get bigger servos for the 80" but I would really like to be able to use my current gear in a 80" if its suficient. Thoughts?

4 hs-5625mg
1 hs-5985mg
Os 1.6 currently with bisson pitts muffler

Status: offline 		I switched my aile servos to FU3305s I run a 6V pack so I should be in the 130oz range. The plane is much more responsive. The servo I was using were plastic gear 75oz servos. The difference is night/day.

Status: offline 		Rolling Harriers were wimpy slow, I cranked up the throw to max which helped a little, but I think this plane needs more on ailerons. Mute point for me at the time being, its broken in half, needs some glue & lite-ply/balsa.

I'll be doing a kit run here this month. Should be ready by late Oct. New ARFs are on the list for next Spring if all goes well.

Status: offline 		Put me down for a 67" kit. The way I fly my ARF it wont last forever and not having one in my fleet is not an option . Can you post on RCU or email when they become available?

Status: offline 		I have 2 wonderful flying 50cc gassers but still miss my Fusion, I will fix it soon, I wait a while for the "heart break" to pass. It did the most amazing slow HA KE and I've been able to hover this thing for 5 minutes, steering it around right off the deck, its that good!!
