That's to the good though since the Giles is probably better than most Yaks and Extras It's also about the only 41% aerobat I can think of that fits in the back of a long bed pick up/

Status: offline 		Man...that is MOST excellent.  Well flown, well filmed.  

And I must agree....apparently that IS a well kept secret...that airplane looked a whole lot friendlier at high alpha than I would have expected out of a Giles.  WHY i had such an opinion, never having flown one, i don't know.  Guess it's a reminder not to trust snap judgments.

Hey Tom...I'm jealous.  Can I send you MY smoke on vid too?  *lol*

The Giles has gained a bad reputation from nothing. There is absolutely nothing wrong about the Giles and a lot that is better than other designs, yet people in this hobby spread the word that somehow a Giles doesn't fly well. Anyone who has flown one loves it.

Just FYI I have never had anyone who bought a Giles from me call up and complain about the way it flies. Never.

My favorite criticism is that they are "short coupled". First, I don't even know what that means, but if they are saying the plane is short they are dead wrong, a Giles has the longest fuselage-to-wingspan ratio of any aerobatic plane flying. Yet the people persist in saying things that are just silly.

Status: offline 		I am still loving the Giles. I am finishing up the third year of flying it. I am soooo glad that I have another one new in the box when this one reaches its expiration date. Here is the latest video.

I have one of those planes, used, that I took in trade for some other stuff. And I have a new-in-box DLE-111 available also.

If someone is interested you can call me at 972-399-9453 (972-399-wild). $500 each or $950 for plane and engine. Just add servos.
