What I did find irritating is the lack of factory support for setup and tuning questions compared to other brands, and it would be nice if it had a governor. That aside, it flew really great. V3 has a natural feel to the cyclic, the tail performance was impressive, and everyone I let fly my Fusion with the 3GX was impressed. In fact, if I hadn't wanted to go to an external governor on everything it would probably still be installed on my Fusion.

Re: *Fusion 50 Setup's*
Hey guys I was wondering what's the highest headspeed I can run im fairly new and don't know how fast I can go on the head. Im running 2250 governed and 12.5 on the pitch and its plenty fast i just wanna know how fast can it go safely or keep it as is and just add more pitch to go faster what you guys think, here's my set up
CY Radix V2 625s CY 95 tail HK 4035-500 15T Ice2 80hv Beastx Spider 3300 30c batts Aligh 610s cyclic. 650 tail Cesar Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk |

From others' experiences, the weak link in the Fusion are the 2.5mm tail grip bolts. At high headspeeds you run the risk of ejecting tail grips.
IMO, 2250 is too high if you are a new pilot and not doing hardcore smack 3D. If you drop it back to ~2000 (or even less) you will enjoy longer flights.

Re: *Fusion 50 Setup's*
I agree Chris. The tail can be fixed by using higher quality bolts (which is what I've done), or by installing a different tail assembly such as a Quick UK one; theres a good thread in here about it.

Yep, that's what I did when I went down to a 550 size on mine, since I knew I'd be cranking the headspeed up. I also dropped to 84.5mm tail blades which reduces the stress on the grip bolts. So far no shucked grips, even at 2450.

Just had a light crash with my Fusion 50 yesterday. Everything was going great with the first few minutes of flight. Tail was holding perfectly, cyclic feel was just like a simulator then out of no where it just starting spinning and making a chattering noise while I was bringing it back upright (doing a half piro flip). I hit the throttle hold as soon as it starting spinning so damage is light. For sure I need new landing gear, boom, blades, and PC links. Everything else looks good on the initial inspection. I could still need a main shaft, feathering shaft, etc... I think the torque tube wasn't meshed properly (spaced too far apart from the ends) and started slipping. My dash cam in the car caught the crash but didn't get the beginning of the flight. It's motion sensitive so I'm lucky it got the crash on video.

Antique Out of Production and Vintage Helicopters
Put 3 flights on my now "Antique Out of Production and Vintage Helicopter" / xmas gift. Fusion 50 FBL.
First 600 class for me. First time flying anything other than my stretched Protos 500. What difference in stability a light extra mass and inertia makes. Since this Antique forum is a bit dated, I thought I'd share my setup and thank my brother for this Awesome heli and assistance with setup! Fusion 50 FBL 12s Stock Outrage 8 pole Quantum 4125-560 Hobbywing 100HV v3 with current firmware (Nov 2016) Jeti Anti-Spark bullet Ikon/Brain old v2 with current firmware 3.0.2 Align 615/655 Funkey 610mm main KBDD 92mm tail UniSense-E Telemetry (mah consumed, pressure, temp, rpm, volts, amps) R7008SB / T14SG Main Gearing Ratio 9.2727:1 11T slant pinion, Mod 1 102T slant main, Mod 1 AR 90T/24T Mod 1 black gears Stock boom, stock TT (22:18) gears 4.5833:1 tail to main ratio Ikon Gov (1000 / 2000 endpoints in ikon) Normal 1850 rpm (45% TX/ikon flat curve) (maybe 75% esc output) IU1 1950 rpm (60% flat curve) (maybe 79% esc output) IU2 2050 rpm (85% flat curve) (maybe 84% esc output) Guessing on the esc output, since my original setup had 10 pole motor configured by mistake and I was getting 2450 rpm HS on fresh pack 50.4 volts. Would not go any faster, so I assume that was 100% throttle output from the esc. Default ikon gains worked extremely well out of the box. Slow spool-up to protect the TT gears. Rescue doesn't work so well... too much vibration. Flying with my Protos 500 LiPo's... 2600mah Pulse 45c and Roaring Top 45c. Still trying to adjust to the flying style and dial in the mah consumed alarm setpoints. Hobbywing Setup: Airplane Mode (ikon gov), all other parameters are HW stock settings. I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but I thought I'd join the Fusion club... 4 years late to the party.
