I bought the Phoenix Giles because it had some good reviews here on RCU. I was really impressed with the quality of this plane when I inspected it, covering was beautiful fit and finish excellent. I spent several weeks preparing my new baby-- solid rod control horns, pull pull rudder etc. (NO SHORT CUTS) Started with a SAITO .82 a wonderful engine I must say. This plane was balanced perfectly! and triple checked by advanced club members before maiden flight. As a matter of fact I got compliments on the nice controls that were installed on it. It was maidened by Lance Ledet an advanced pilot at our local club (a.k.a. H.A.M.S. club) if it weren't for Lance's experience the Giles would not be in one piece. It flew like wet garbage. Next Jerry Sigur flew it and nicknamed it the flying prostitute, Jerry is also a well versed pilot with 20-25 years flying RC planes & helis. Well what went wrong with my baby? TO HEAVY, high wing loading 530 square inches by 8.25 pounds= 35.86 ounces per sq. foot very hot, very heavy...... called Hobby Services they agreed it was to heavy also, told be to cut it up-to fit in a box and they will decide to give me another plane of equal value. Frustrated I was determined to try something, if it didn't work I'll have fun doing it, again thats what a hobby is anyway RIGHT? I added a second wing to my baby which doubled the wing area to 1060 sq. inches it now weighs 9.5 lbs. with six ounces added to the nose for proper balance. Now the plane has a wing loading of 20.65 ounces per sq foot awesome! Jerry flew it for me again the first flight was a bit hairy it was tail heavy but his experience got it down safely in the tall grass. ( thats when we added the six ounces to the nose). The second flight was a hit Jerry was excited which made me excited! Hey Jerry you hoggin my plane I want a turn I had to pry the controller from his hands. I finally got to fly my Pitts Giles Bipe and boy did it feel good.......... hey Jerry come land this thing for me I'm to nervous&^%$*&^#%....... THANK YOU RCU & THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEMBERS AT THE H.A.M.S club.... Houma, LA here are a few pictures of the Flying Prostitute..
