When the Fusion first came onto the market
in 2004, the model soon became popular for its perfect flight characteristics
as a trainer, sport flyer and full combat aircraft.
Over the last 6 years, technology has changed
and years of slope soaring has all led to the new design of the Fusion
V2. Inspired by the ultimate 60 inch slope soarer. It was necessary to
re-build the 51 inch Fusion before a 60 version could be developed.
The Fusion V2 is a completely re-designed
aircraft. The process started with the newly developed RW03 airfoil section.
The RW03 was developed by a local slope/DS pilot, based on the RG14-15
foil, the airfoil was extremely modified using wind tunnel testing. Comparisons
were established that showed the RW03 out performed all of the main airfoils
in its field. Although it wasn't until the first test flight that the
truth behind this new airfoil was known. The New Fusion V2 will fly in
lighter winds with increased performance and performance has nearly doubled
from the previous E374. The aircraft is neutrally stable, and has all
the right tendencies in the hands of a novice.
In addition to the revolutionary new airfoil,
the ailerons have been hinged from the bottom of the wing to reduce induce
drag. The whole aircraft has been designed to be more user friendly right
from the box.
