Default Giles-202 3d

I have learned to fly it real close...took about a gallon getting comfortable with the plane tho...Today I bought some flouresent orange stick on to stick to the blue under the wing...I'm going to do a waving checker flag courtsy of termagator in the Tips and tecniqes forum below...how to do a chekered flag thread.

Check out the thread, it's brilliant. Either a flag or a design just on the blue down the wing from root to tip...orange will stand out on the blue, and since it's repaired already, and I couldn't find transparent yellow chinacoat, I used grey ultra to cover the repair with blue trim to match the old trim.

I'm actually glad I whacked it, now I won't be spooked or worried about the looks as much.
At under a hundred bucks I'm getting another as back up, I like it as much as my old Balsa Nova and that's saying alot.

Burn the fuel and get comfortable with it...then tell us what you think!
I expect at least 1/2 gallon and a report by Sunday nite!
