Guess I should saved longer and got the Quique YAK instead.

As for the throws they are as follows:
Elevator: High 1 3/4" up & down
Low 1 1/4" up & down
Rudder: Full deflection

Aileron: High 1 3/4" up & down
Low 1 1/4" Up & down

For 3D we recomend to use:
Elevator 60-70*
Rudder Full Deflection
Aileron 40*

Once again I opologize for the delay. Let us know when you fly her the 202 is an awesome plane.

Status: offline 		Cool Beans!!! Thanks,

Sorry for getting snooty but this is my first really large aerobat and I'm a bit excited to get it going. I've ordered a bunch of Smart-Fly components and am getting them put in. I was hoping this weekend but we'll see.

Thanks,
Mike

Status: offline 		When I bought the plane, the guy told me it was 40% size. I didn't see it on your website so I assume it is something you no longer kit. Is it really 40% or some other scale?

Thanks,
Mike

Optech, A 40% Giles 202 is smaller than a 40% Extra , Edge.
What I am trying to say is the full scale wing span of which we base our percentages off of is smaller on a Giles than other aircraft.So when we scale them down they look smaller compared to a 40% Extra but are still 40% scale or semi scale to the full size Giles.
Hope this makes since, Daniel

Status: offline 		Daniel, Yeah.... That makes sense. In anycase, this thing is huge. Not exactly the biggest I've ever flown but for a scale aerobat it is.

I was just wondering since I can't find a product description to base my plane from, I have to go purely on what I was told. No big deal or anything but is my plane actually a 40% scale Giles or some other scale?

What's the wingspan of the full scale Giles and I'll go from there?

Thanks,
Mike

Status: offline 		I think a real 200 is about 20 ft....Wing on a 202 was a litle larger.........A 40% Giles is about 113-116 inches in span

Status: offline 		A full scale Giles 202 is 22 feet, that means a 40% model should be around 105 inch wingspan.

An Extra 300 has a wingspan of 26ft 3in, a 40% model should be around 126 in wingspan.

That is why the 40% Giles 202 model looks more like a 35% aircraft when compared to an Extra 300.

Hope that helps.

How did you like the Giles?
