Default gp giles 202 1/4 scale

Is there anyone out here that has used A 120 FOUR STROKE on this plane?

I'm guessing that might be quite a bit less engine than you would want. I have an O.S. 1.60FX two-stroke in mine and it seems perfect.


Good flying,

Well Triska your not kidding this firewall looked like it had seen the working end of a me109. I almost have it all together.

P.S. while repairing this heap I discovered the cause of your crash and have made the necessary adjustments. To insure that this does not happen again I have installed one skilled pilot (me) behind the sticks...LOL

I had this plane with a YS120NC.
Handled good with no problems.
Vertical was strong, but not exciting.
