Hey DiscoDuck, If you think the showtime "flew better, more crisp, insane high alpha slow SLOW SLOW knife edge" Its quite obvious that YOU need to fly the Giles. There's a very rewarding experience waiting for you. The Showtime is a great little plane but the Giles leads in its size/weight class. Just fly it and then tell us if it isnt everything everyone (including myself) has said it was.
