    Default Problem with Fusuno frames for Fusion 50

    I just started the build on my Fusion and I had ordered some yellow Fusuno frames at the same time with the intention of building that way from the beginning.

    But I have spotted a problem with the Fusuno frames and I don't know if there was an earlier version or later version of the Fusion or if the Fusunos are just wrong.

    Basically the Fusuno frame is about 4mm short at the front and some of the holes fall completely in the wrong place. To drill the holes where they would match up with the Fusion carbon frames would mean having them go to the edge of the material and thus cutting out part of the edge, which is just not kosher IMHO.

    Has anyone else experienced this with the Fusuno frames?

    I am going to look at it all again to see if there is a practical workaround, otherwise I'll have to speak to Fastlads about them and prob just continue the build using the stock black carbon frames.

    -------update; It looks like the difference in location of a few holes is not going to cause a problem. It's in the front and doesn't seem to conflict with anything but it's definitely different from the kit.

    From my experience the Fusuno accessories are not good quality at all. I have had numerous issues with tail fins, stabilisers etc on both my Fusion and my 450 Pro. Their canopies on the other hand seem spot on.

    But they do often need re-shaping over a hot kettle - especially the 600v2
