Default GP Giles kit

thought I'd post a picture of my Giles---this was prior to maiden flight, before I figured out that the "stock" wheels and wheel pants wouldn't work on my grass field. I'm using an OS 91FS and a 14x6 prop. Couple of tips: 1. study the wing plan closely---I personally found the directions/plans a little hard to follow, but once I figured it out, the full span webs and overall kit/parts engineering here is excellent. 2. if you don't already own a GP Slot Machine, buy one. I used the old Xacto knife method of slotting my hinge pockets and it was hard, sloppy work. A Slot Machine will give outstanding results, with almost no effort. For $25, it can't be beat.
