I really don't have anything against profile planes. Sorry if I came accross that way. I like my Fusion and as I fly it more I like it more. I always try to be critical of planes because that's what I'd like to hear if I was in the market for a new plane. What is the down side. What are the good points. I believe, by and large, that most people have a honeymoon period where the plane they just got is the greatest plane on earth. It couldn't be better in any way. Usually this is not the case. I try to tell exactly what my findings are.

In this case...Clearly the Fusion is "tougher" more durable than the UCD. It flys on the side better than the UCDs but not as good as I expected frankly. My Velox does much better KE than the Fusion. The Fusion is very easy to fly but slightly harder to land/take off etc. than the UCD. I think this is because of the "thin" wing on the Fusion. You have a lot less concern of overspeeding the Fusion. In fact I don't think you even have to worry about that unless it was on a long down line.

So...in case anyone misunderstood, I do like the Fusion. My trouble is I'm getting to the point that the only planes I have I like very much. They are all similar but different. Now I'm having a lot of trouble deciding which one to fly. I like them all. I really do. I'm kinda expanding into the Gas planes a little bit and I like them also, but guess what...they aren't the perfect plane either. One thing is...you wouldn't know it by reading these threads but you still have to "clean up" a gas plane. And I think the residue left from the gas engines is harder to get off. From what I read there was zero clean up. No so. That's the kind of info I'm talking about.

Anyways...I just wanted to clear up that. And I am sorry about letting you on that I might not like the profiles. I do.

Thanks
Barry
