giles202 wing rock. maby katana?
hi all. i have(sorry had) 1600mm giles 202. it rocked wing, especially at high rates. on low rates I could just pull stick down, drop throtile and the planes was flyinmg stabile, but at high rates it rocked wing, I ate such thing.
how do u think, which is less wing rocking scale planes?
what about Katana X? i got it's plans and want to build one

the giles is painfully unstable at smaller sizes, my 1400mm vers is now retired coz it was too limited and fragile. The Katana's characteristic wing fillets were designed specifically to aid slow-speed handling, but any of the scale aerobats should be ok if built light enough.

I used to have the Model Tech giles from YT 72" span, it would 3d a little bit but as Mcflyboy says its not the most stable model in its small scale, on the contrary, my 44% fiberclasics giles is awesome at 3d!
katanas are generally quite stable at 3d, however, at that sort of size, no scale aerobat is going to be excellent!
