RE: Gp Giles 202 1/4 Scale, Upthrust Problem!!!!
Dunk:
one member of La Paz club, placed a ZDZ 40 cc. in the nose of his GP giles, it is not a good idea!
I saw it crashed on approch, the plane is able to fly slower with the big prop but close to the ground it fools you and snap but not from 4 feet but from 8 feet!!
Later the plane all fixed up was sold to a great pilot that placed a Zenoah 38 on, He flew it like a maniac and putted a great show many sundays but it died again in a nonrecovered slow flat spin, ... all the way down to the floor pan..!!
leason learned: it is not a 3D type of plane! it does not like to fly slow.
I came to the conclusion this giles is a good fast plane and maybe a intermedia pattern plane, it will give you good finger trainning for future groth. enjoy it while it last.
