Default RE: So whats the problem(s) with a Giles?

The One Negative to the old Ohio RC line of kits (Giles or otherwise) is they build heavy. (and the plus is they are built to take a lot of abuse)

If you keep the weight down, and the CG foward you will have a great flying plane that is docile. Move the CG back and she will get snay fast and do increadable 3D. Increase the wingloading and move the CG back you will have a handfull.

Keep it light, start with a forward CG and you will love it. (until your next airplane comes along)
