Hello Angus (No painting yet )
Ciao Italy,
Bonjour Jérome (Mr Donut's)


This monoplane is the "Fusion 3D".
Actually, the original "Fusion" is already an old design (lets say 3years!) from Didier Beylard, a french friend of mine (also designer of the welknown "Aïto" produced by Donut's Model)
It was flying well but too stable for hard aerobatics. I did some improvements to get a nervous plane (according to his relativelly big size of 1m) but trying to keep his natural stability. The result is a very homogeneous, neutral, stable but reactive plane on the 3 axes, even able to snap quite good for such a light loading. (The leading edge of this "real" airfoil is very sharp. ) At the same time, Didier improved is building process (1.5mm planed depron) and was able to get the empty weight down to around 80gr!
The bad points are a relativelly big, fast and fragile plane for Indoor....
But it doesn't float [sm=drowning.gif], It doesn't hang [sm=bananahead.gif], ... This fantastic plane really flies [8D] ... like a dream

It's almost impossible to get a kit at a reasonable price due to that complex building process and the resultant fragility. No plan yet as it's a live concept!
But who know's...

Cheers,
Benoit
