Default HOSTETLER 55% GILES
Anyone ever built one or even seen one ??? I've always liked the way they fly and I noticed that the MX Airplane factory is not too far from my home... Maybe a Giles /MXS cross

How about a short kit??

I have the plans. They are more of a scale plane though. So much detail that it'll become a pain. They sell short kits, but I think I'll change the construction on mine to more like a Carden. That is, when I get around to it,,

Contact Bill Cunningham. He was going to fly one at the TOC a few years ago. He had two of them if I recall correctly. I believe it was designed by Hostetler for Bill to compete with.

If you're looking for a large, well built, good flying, and relatively inexpensive Giles 202, Wild Hare R/C has a 41% kit that's real nice. Wonderful to fly, 3d's good, and kicks butt in the precision department. Not so big that it needs a trailer but large enough to know you have giant scale at your fingertips.
