 |  35% Giles IMAC Legal
Evening all, I am chasing a Giles (or a Raven) for my first IMAC plane. Would want it to suit DA100 & either composite or built up would do. Airwild do a Giles but it is 44% i think. (Can't afford the extra cost of a 150 size model) Aviation Models do a 35% but i know nothing about the company & dislike the colour scheme. The other choice is a Raven (Oracle scheme of course) but i don't think it is IMAC legal & have never seen one advertised. The reason for the strange choice is most people have Extras, Cap's or Edge's and I guess i just like to be different.  I have been onto IAC's web site to find something different, but you then need to find a manufacturer. Any help would be appreciated Cheers |

Thanks Rusty. I'll check them out. Might be good for a zdz80. Going to find Airwild's aussie agent this week for more info. I've been checking out so many manufacturers in the last 2 weeks i had Airwild & Comp ARF mixed up. Might see you at Albury Cheers |

The Probuilt will fly well on a 3W 80 or ZDZ 80. I have flown one with a 3W75 and it flew well dispite being over weight.

Raven is definetly IMAC legal, because there was a full scale version designed, built, and flown by Wayne Handley. It uses a Zivko wing, with a straight leading edge like from the Edge 540, so it has some similar characteristics when it comes to stalls, spins, and snaps. I love the look of a Raven and would have one here in a heartbeat if we had some choices here in the States.

Have you had a bad experience with one? How much nose weight did it need?  Cheers | |||||||||||||||

| Re: 35% Giles IMAC Legal
 Could you send me some details on the 2.45m painted version. Is this version IMAC legal? Price? Any recommended hardware packages? Availability? Inclusions? I am most interested. Thanks | |||||||||||||||
