I would like to take this opportunity to give anyone wanting to purchase a Hobby People Model Tech Giles 202 a little advise before hand. I purchased the Giles several months ago. The instructional plans were pretty plain and straight forward. The plane was not hard at all to get together... But. The trim striping was already coming off. I thought it was no big deal to get the iron out and tack it back down. As I was doing that, the covering (the cheapest covering I've ever seen) developed a big hole. The covering just melted. My iron was on low when I started out so I couldn't go any lower with the temp. I went with the Monokote trim seal stuff and that seemed to work OK. Just don't ever apply heat to the covering. I put in one of their (Hobby People) Magnum XLS 91's and broke the engine in as per instructions. Even with this engine, I had to add almost 6 oz to the front to make it balance. During the setup period, I noticed one elevator was hanging lower than the other. After further inspection, I noticed that almost half of the elevator was broken. Being that I didn't want the hassel of returning it, especially because it was almost finished, I stripped the covering to find most of the balsa pieces broken. After repairing the broken elevator, I recovered it with Monokote. OK, maiden flight. It was a little jumpy but nothing that couldn't be adjusted. Everything went great. After, maybe a dozen flights or so, the nylon portion of the tail wheel bracket broke. Fixed that and finally, the last straw for this dog. I landed and the center portion of the fuse looked like it was squatting. Took her home and took the cowl off. The only thing holding the front motor box section was the cowl and screws. The glued surfaces holding the motor box to the fuse simply just came apart. Now that it was all apart, I could see how shoddy the glue and the workmanship was on this airplane. To make a long story short, I would advise anyone looking to buy one of these Hobby People Model Tech's Giles 202, to carefully look over the product before buying it. I don't really want to go through the hassle of returning it for a new one because after my experience with this Giles, I wouldn't want a new one. Good thing it held together in the air long enough so that my radio gear wasn't damaged!
