Default RE: Modeltech Giles 202 ARF - sour experience

With a Webra 120 mine balanced just right and weighed 9 lbs. Elavator broke off and stab cracked on first flight, straight and level, half throttle. Landed ok and fixed with good hinges and guide wires. After 30 or so flights of trying to sort out the snap problem I gave it away. Bad airfoil design and too much wing loading.
