Default RE: GSP Giles 202

No more flights yet - wet and windy here at the moments (British summer don't you know!) Hope to fly again at the weekend.

C of G was spot on with the 2500mAh NiMh battery in the cowl strapped under the firewall box.

I was a bit worried about it being tail heavy with 3 servos in the tail. One of which is a Hitec digital (10Kg) for the rudder as I had to make an extended rudder pull-pull servo arm to get it fully outside the fuz and was worried about losing torque by extending the arm by 10mm each side.

I also added an additional ply plate in the tail and fitted a Sullivan tailwheel as I wasn't too impressed with the standard one.

Your OS 1.60 will have a bit more grunt than my MVVS so should be fine, but at half the price I ain't complaining.
