I recently acquire a gp Giles 202 kit and was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on how to make this bird a true 3-Der.

Is there a rule of thumb on stab to elevator ratio or fin torudder size.

I've got a Satio 91 to go in the plane so that should be all the power I need .

Any Thoughts or comments on this kit or how this plane flies.
Thanks

It will do it just build it light, .91 is marginal 3d pwoer for this plane. 100 would be better

I agree. I had a OS 91 in mine and vertical was barely enough to hover it at full throttle. Watch out with the elevator throws on this bird as it can snap very readily on full elevator deflection. Also shim or move the LG forward or it will nose over when taxying on grass.
