Default RE: GP .46 Giles---Misc Stuff

I lost my Giles last week on final approach. I had mine with a OS.61FX using a 12x8 prop. Loosing the plane was a combination of my mistake (low altitude on final) plus the snap tendency of the airplane when pulling up the elevator too fast. I will receive my new kit this week and can't wait to start building.

After reading this thread since 2002, I find too little about the snappy tendency of this airplane. I did no more than 20 flights with mine since I was still trimming it.

Could you guys that love and have had this airplane for a while add more about the elevator setup and snappy tendencies?

Sincerely,
Pedro
