Default RE: Brillelli 25GT on a CMP Giles-202

Thanks for the reminder on the landing gear Jim. I cant get the Chip Hyde gear so I am trying to find something at TnT and have sent them a email about it. They dont list a gear for the Cap-X on their site, at least I couldnt find it.

Chris, this version of the Giles came with polished aluminum wing tube not carbon fiber. It comes up 134 grams on the scale. It also came with white 3/16 hinge points and horny hinge points as well. (Thats the hinge point and control horn in one.) I will use the control horn hinge point but use Robarts in place of the others.

My upper hatch doesnt fit so good though. Anyone put a dowel up front to keep it on in flight. One of the hinges alignment was off so it took some filing to get the hinge to work. Not much material holding that little pin on the hinge to the hatch. Was their someone that added some screws somewhere for safety???
