Default CMPro Giles 202 - 50

Hey just wondering if anyone else has flown this plane?I just got one and I am wondering if I should put a Magnum 61 4s in it or go all out with power with a Saito 80?I have been curious to how aerobatic it is and if it can handle any 3D stuff at all?Mainly the simpler things like harriers and hovering.I am also wondering about basic things like spins, inverted spins, and blenders.

Overall this ARF looks simply great, for 99 dollars I can not believe how good this thing is.I was surpised!The construction quality looks great, and the covering is beautiful but there is one little tear at the end of the aileron, it can't be perfect after all!

One problem I had when putting the ailerons on was with the hinges they use.I like the design its a refreshing change from the CA hinges I am used to and they say to epoxy them in but being myself I decided to use CA because I knew it would hold but apperantly no matter how hard you try not to get any in the actual pivot joint it ends up there.So now they are pretty hard to move back and forth and the only thing I really worry about is how well they will return to center.Is there a good way to loosen them up?

I know that when I do the elevator and rudder I will do it differently.

This is what the hinges are like: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=269
That is a good idea to oil the joint before gluing, too bad I didn't think of that.
