This is one of my favorites...I just re-did the canopy and cowl on mine for the new flying season.

I posted a full review at http://www.members.dca.net/mcquaide/...anes_giles.htm

It has a ST .90 in it (I started with an OS .60 FP) and is a great flyer - wild when you want it to be and mild when you slow it down. Flat spins are great and it recovers by itself as soon as you let go of the sticks. Stick with the recommended throws but you'll need high rates to get it into a spin. It flies through the spins on low.

There is a weak spot in the fuse structure, right at the LE of the wing - the fuse is only 2 inches high at that point, and I found mine cracked and ready to break in two in the off-season inspection. I would add some tri-stock there to lock the side, top, and former together.

The recommended rudder servo config on the bottom is stupid - I mounted it on the side of the fuse with a straight pushrod and ball link.

I really think it could use more vertical thrust, even with the .90. I don't know how anyone could fly it with the .46. It balanced fine with the batt under the turtledeck.

Good luck with it -
