Took my Fusion out for a spin last eve, I missed most of a beautiful day, that work thing again! But did my first tail touches with it,I can hover this plane the whole flight ,almost. I can do harriers w/o spoilerons but it does it better with the mix, I'd rather not use it but it does it so well with them up, cant help it. I tried to transition from one 3-D stunt to another & another , it went pretty good, harrier to hover, hover to HAKE, back to hover, to harrier, and keep it low as well. Its pretty intense flying for me, pucker & all that. Rolling harriers is what I'm having the most trouble with, I have to stay way off the throttle or it will nose up,same thing with the tail feathers, too much elevator or rudder & it ruins the axial rolling. I can find a groove for a while, but it doesnt do them as nice as the Velox, any tips for this plane?

) and unlimited vertical pullout, it climbs healthy...not a rocket but strong enough to do some point rolls and things effortlessly going up. Another thing to note was the 1.20 was running with a 15X8 JXF nylon prop on the trainer, so I should gain a little thrust going to a 16X6 APC for instance. Now here's the killer, by removing the muffler extension which was needed on the trainer and after all my calculations the Fusion will with the 1.20 still weigh roughly 250grams (bout 9oz) lighter than the girlfriend's trainer in the old configuration. Sounds like I have a fairly easy way out of my current problem then! Wooohoooo! Downside of course is I had to butcher the beautifull nose on my Fusion to get the 1.20 to drop in, so I'm still in the process of recovering the nose and fixing all that mess up but yea, problem solved I guess!
Where it all got interesting now was when I discovered the Ally spinner actually weighs more than 2oz! A slightly bigger plastic spinner I have lying around weighs less than half?!?! So guess what, tomoz I'm on a mission to get a shiny new blue or yellow plastic spinner for this bird. That outta keep my weight gain from the 1.25 to the 1.20 down to around 3oz, I'll be happy with that. Still remains to be seen what kind of CG adjustment I'm looking in the eye with all this but in the old config I was bordering on being too tail heavy for my tastes, virtually no input when doing
