I was wondering if anybody in here has flown or heard anything about the 3D Giles 202. I need some feedback on this one. Everything seems to look alright as far as the specs go. The wing loading seems to be decent and my saito .72 should snatch it around with authority.

The little Giles is a fun plane. Mine started with a 46 2-stroke and now it has the new 40 Saito. With the 40 it will not quite hover, but it flies great and light. With the 72 it will have a lot of power. The weird thing about this plane is the wings rock around a lot in the air and it will sometimes feel unstable, even though it isn't. It is pretty stable for it size if you keep it light. With my setup it flies great slow and lands slow. The only down side is the wing mounts in the top of the fuselage and then you have to screw on the canopy. It just takes a little more time to assemble at the field. Overall it is nice.
