Note: As with all ARFs, it’s a good idea to read all the instructions and study the parts
before you begin construction. Make sure you have a flat and sturdy workbench and
follow all safety advice for the tools and adhesives you plan to use.
Also note that the assembly pictures are from both the Fusion ARF and various kit builds
however the assembly process is the same.

1. OMP recommends lightly going over all the covering with a covering iron set at medium temperatures.
With all ARFs, varying temperatures and transport delays can cause covering material to loosen over time.
Pay attention to all covering seams and make sure all are properly adhered to the model.
2. Carefully cut the covering away from the various openings on both sides of the fuselage. Servo openings in
the wings and fuselage should be cut from corner to corner and the covering ironed down on the inside.
Only cut the throttle servo opening on the right side of the fuselage. Other holes can be cut out using either
a sharp hobby knife or the tip of a hot soldering iron. The latter technique acts to seal the covering edges as
you cut away.
3. Cut the covering away from the hatch opening in the nose of the fuselage and iron down the covering
around the perimeter. A pre covered hatch is provided which can be secured with 4 screws. To properly
balance the model, the flight pack battery, ignition battery or other item may be placed in this hatch. For
example the author installed the gas engine ignition module into this hatch and used an IBEC system instead
of a separate ignition battery. With a sharp exacto knife, cut a small rectangular hole in the back side of the
