WHAT A GREAT THREAD!

I am preparing to start a plan built 2m plane, and think I will jump in here. I have had the plans for a couple of years, but work pressure has kept me from flying, let alone building anything. Now I'm ready.

I ordered the plans for the Typhoon from Gator R/C. They arrived and I hung them from my shop wall to flatten out. It took me several minutes to realize that something was wrong. A couple more minutes to realize that I was looking at the plans for the Giles 202.[:-]. I guess the person that took the order, one of Chris Lakins teenage boys, mis-packed it, or maybe even I screwed up.

Well the thing started looking pretty good so I decided to keep it. Besides, I can't go off on a kid making some after school money.

About a month ago I started doing some R&D on the plans. (Rip off and develop as mentioned earlier in this thread)

I am drawing up a set of plans based on the basic plan form and moments of the Giles. It will have a double tapered foam wing, and I am reducing the root chord by 1 1/2 inches. The engine will be a Webra 1.45 and the radio will be my brand new 10x.

I am posting the plans (note, they are work in progress) and hope to be ordering the wood from Superior Balsa in a week or two.
