GP Giles 202 Engine
 
I am building er I mean assembling a Great planes Giles 202. I have both a YS-140 and a Saito 182 twin. Which one is more suited to this plane? I have read through most of the threads on this plane and have not seen anyone putting the saito twin on it.

Thanks
Dwight

I have used the YS140FZ in my Giles and it flies great on 15% fuel. It will not give you unlimited vertical. I think the twin would do that. If you run 30% nitro in your YS, it may also give you more vertical!

GP Giles ARF Engine?
 
How would a 2.4 gasser do in this plane? Is it too much? What mods would be necessary? thanks wc

A ST 3250. Should be a monster!

If you put an access hatch in the tail to install everything except the throttle servo it is great. I have put about 10 oz in the tail to get the balance at 9.0-9 1/8 of an inch. The plane flies GREAT
