Default update on giles

After a disaster with my first model tech giles, (the balsa on the leading edge of the elevator was too soft) and a replacement kit from the excellent people at Hobby People, the plane now has twelve flights on it, with an OS61. It is a fabulous flyer, tracks on rails, and will do ANYTHING except hover. With a larger engine it would do that as well.

For 229.00 it is by far the best flyer I have seen for its size, and the quality is excellent. No too many around. My club has about 100 memebrs, and I have the only one. I whole heartedly reccomend this to anyone, and I CERTAINLY SUGGEST HOBBY POEPLE AS THE ABSOLUTE BEST TO DO BUSINESS WITH. Great looking plane, great covering and colors, light and FUN to fly!

Willy, can you post some pictures of the tail? Are they big enough for 3D?

Sorry, I dont have any pictures. With the 61 that I used you cannot do 3D, but with a 91 or120 4 Stroke it should be fine.

I'd like to see what the control surfaces look like before buying anything...

Thanks!
