RE: GSP Giles 202
Hi all,
Flew the CMPro Giles 202 1.40 again at the weekend with an 18x6 prop. Big mistake as I'm only getting 7,800 out of it. This gives me more thrust but a very low top speed (45mph ish). I'm going for a 17x8 next as I really felt the 18x8 was just a bit too much prop.
The plane flew fine though and I love the way it KE's and stall turns with that huge rudder.
For anyone htinking about building one of these, I'd really recommend a digital servo for that rudder. If I had the dosh, I'd have them all round.
Must try and get some in-flight shots soon (it's always a bit difficult holding the camera in one hand and the tranny in the other though).
