A Giles 202 has to be flown fast because of the thin wing, I could be wrong but it does have a thin wing. A guy at my club had one and he hated it. One day he went inverted after take off got to slow and stalled and went into a spin. He could have rebuilt it but he said it wasnt worth it. They like to land very hot and fast. That was the only giles I have ever seen flown. In the hands of a good pilot, I bet it would be a nice plane.
I'm pretty sure thickness has nothing to do with the speed at which is has to fly. I think you are confusing wing area with wing thickness.
