I like that name! :)

I have a Saito 1.20(the heavy one). The engine weighs 30 oz. What would you recommend for it. I fly 3D and a little of pattern. Thank you

Just my $.02 but the .90 size fusion would be great for that motor and the ARF is on sale. Get the all white one and seal all the seams then apply your own scheme with UC or vinyl. Wait to put the motor on until the plane is all together and geared up so you can use the engine weight to achieve balance by moving it front or back on the rails. You may still need a little tail weight but don't sweat it, the plane handles it fine.

If you like 3D and pattern, you'll love the fusion. Wide speed envelope, tracks like it's on rails, amazingly agile even at slow speeds. There's not much like it out there.

Thanks for the reply. I got to see two new OMP kits at the field today. One was a Boxxer and the other looked like a Fusion with a Saito .72.

The .90 size Fusion flies a good bit different than the smaller one IMHO. I've flown both and while I like the agility and looseness of the smaller one, the .90 is a much more smooth and stable craft. Not to say it won't break loose and tumble cause it will. It does one of the nicest KE spins and can KE to KE snap all day with a crispness like a pattern ship.

I really cannot wait to get the 80" going. I think Chumley is maidening his tomorrow...[sm=shades_smile.gif] You're fast, man!!

At the rate Chum can build, he's already gone through 2 gallons of fuel by the time this post comes up! haha. John won;t let me fly mine until after Toledo show.[:o] I'm too hard on my profiles. LOL
