Default RE: Phoenix Giles 202

I never had this problem until I started flying glow. This is my first glow plane. I call it my trainer plane. hehe..

I fly slope gliders. These things go fast. I've never done a snap on my gliders at full speed coming in from a dive before. From simple 48" EPP foam wings, to Vtail hand launched gliders, to 2 meter Slope racing planes. Never had one snap on me before. Dynamic soaring with these planes require less input into the control surfaces becuase, like you said, the faster you go the less input you need because it will be more sensitive. I think it's the design of the Giles that is making it snappy. I could be wrong, but this is my experience.

thanks for the info..
