I have been reading all of the threads about the giles 202 for weeks. I have a new one in the box waiting to be built. How does yours fly. I am a little worried about it snapping on me when I land it. I am not a beginner and have several other planes that I fly but some of the people on these threads really bash how this plane flies. I have two engines to choose from which would be the better choice. First is a Moki 1.8 that weights about 41 oz. Second is a Super tigre G-2300 which is the engine that is recommended by GP. I really want to use the Moki as it is new in the box but I don't want to have trouble balancing the plane. My manual also says to balance the plane at 9 1/4 inches from the trailing edge.
