My manual for the Giles not only gives set up tips for 3D style flying, it even tells how to do the manuevers. This aircraft is marketed as 3D capable and should have been engineered to stand up to the rigors of this type of flying. One fellow I talked to said he has hundreds of flights with his and the cracks spread to a certain point and stopped growing, others have told me their wings or fuselage broke up in midair.Please understand I am not angry so much as disappointed in GP for continuing to market an aircraft with what appears to be a known design flaw. They are still marketing and selling these things by the hundreds and as far as I know there have been no changes. I like GP's designs and have owned 6 of their ARFs to date and will probably buy more in the future, just not another Giles. I am monitoring the cracks and if they continue to grow I will probably breakdown and strip the covering and glass the cracks. I just wish GP would quietly redesign the 202 and fix the problems rather than act like nothing is wrong ala Ford and their exploding Pintos of the 1970s. Just my two cents.
