New & Emerging R/C Helicopters > New heli on the block...The Fuze 90

Finished my new heli for this weekend and got some flight time on it already. I've never built a machine so smooth, this thing rocks and flies with the best of them. It uses the following components from current helis.

-Predator Drivetrain
-Fury lower channels, motor mount and H-brace design
-Carbon Xtreme Programmable head (THE rotorhead of choice for me)

It uses the Kalt type CCPM system on it which works very very well, is easy to set up and looks very clean.

Besides how great it flies, the cost of repair is very low, with a entire G-10 frameset costing less than $10 in material. All in all, I'm extremely happy how it turned out. There are definately improvements that I will make with the next version of frameset, but this will do right now. The Fury main tank is just temporary as I just had one lying around.

Flying wise, it was a real pleasure, stable as a rock, yet felt extremely light in the air and flipped with ease and confidence. I'm really impressed. Can't wait to start racking up some airtime with this machine. Enjoy and thanks for looking

Thanks for the support. A Predator could actually be converted to this frameset rather easily, I never really liked the stacked frame design of the Pred so thats another reason I went for the slim frame design.

Got about 3 flights on it this morning, everything is going great. Was able to do piro tic tocs, rolling circles, funnels ect and so far so good, just still tweaking the set up to fit my liking. No unusual wear and engine sounds good when pulling some G's. Smiling ear to ear

Got 2 more flights this morning and man, I'm really enjoying this heli. That OS SZ just keeps asking me to lean it out every flight and when I do, it just produces amazing power and the airframe handles it with ease. I did a piro flip take off and it blasted off the deck with such force, I thought I was going to rip up the ashpalt!

So far, I've not had to do a lick of maintenance with 6 flights logged so far and I've been putting it through it's paces. Just keeping a close eye on everything to make sure all is well.

I would love to get a video of it, but don't have access to a digital camcorder. When I come out to LA, TicidyToc said he could get some footage of it flying.

Got a Freya canopy mounted on. The frame design lends itself to most any canopy on the market. What I will probably do is use the Freya plastic canopy for everyday flying and then fit and paint a Aurora or Fury canopy for the show off days at fun flies.
