Gator RC demoslished by Tornado
Hello All,
Just spoke with Diane at Gator R/C and found out that her house and shop were demolished Sunday by a Tornado. My thoughts and condolences go out to them. She doesn't know how long it will be before she is back up could be months if ever. Just thought I'd pass the word.

Yeah Mike i called them today to see if they would have a booth at the Toledo Show. And She said thay have only been in the house for 5 months. Does'nt know if they will reopen Gator R/C but said to call in a few months and they would have a better idea.

I believer Gator is slowly getting back on their feet.
If you call Central Hobbies I think the wing adjusters are available again as well as some other items.

Hello.

Different design to Gator's, but same functionality.

Go to Accessories (German language) and look for Anstellwinkelverstellung. (Picture beside the spinners)
Product code p-ewd, 14.50 Euro for one pair of wing and tail adjusters.

Mine weighted 10.5 lbs with an OS140RX in it. Plenty of power for most patterns.

RE: Gator RC demoslished by Tornado
Would you have any idea where the CG needs to be on this plane?
I've had one for years that was built but never flown and I am putting it together now.
Thanks.

The Giles 202 y Gator RC is basically a Typhoon 2000 wing and stab on a Giles type fuselage. It is a very nice flying plane. Very honest, rolls well, knife edge with little mixing and spins upright and inverted like a dream. Due to the size of the wing (over 1100 sq in) it is hard to get it to snap cleanly unless you are flying pretty slowly.

I have a set of plans for the Fascination (the wood scratch built version) and two canopies to go with it. I'm probably never going to do anything with them. If you're interested let me know and we'll see what kind of deal we can work out.
