Wildhare 40% Giles?

[Superrmario]

Possibly considering one. For Beginner IMAC, seems like a good price, and I have always liked the looks and tracking of the Giles. I had a 1/4 scale GP which was heavy and snappy, but it tracked like no other.

If I go with it, the DA-85 will be going in so...... Any comments? I have had two so far. Awesome and, and not awesome (in other words).

By having had two already, does that mean two of the 40% W/H 202's?

I've have both the 35 and 41% W/H 202's. The 35% flew nicely and tracked very well but was a little heavy with a 105.

The 41% comes in at the same weight or slightly less than the 35% and flies lighter, as it should. Coupling is only slight in knife, tracking is very good. Like the 35% it likes to have te rudder used, but generally in small amounts. I have a 100 in mine but an 85 wil fly it as well as needed.

Balance point is everything to how you want it to fly. Too far forward and it lands long and fast. Center of wing tube, to just slightly aft of that, and it's well mannered, lands short and slow, and in quite responsive to controls without being twitchy.

Good plane and a very fast assembly. It's easy to end up nose heavy during the assembly depending on how you locate equipment. Attention to weights and moments during the assembly will eliminate any need for tail weight to correct a forward c/g.

No No... I had two comments so far from other people off the forum.

I had a Great Planes Giles G-202 which like I said tracked really well, but just a hair too much input on the elevator and over she went. Punched the firewall in once. I no longer have it, but it was a fun airplane that kept me on my toes at ALL times.

Thanks for the info on the WH Giles.

I saw your post and I'm planning to get a WH MX2 (88") with a DA-50. The MX2 is a wing modification of the WH Giles. I would be interested in seeing your Giles fly. Since I'm in NJ, anyway I can meet with you to see your plane in action. Do you have any comments on the MX2? Any additional information about your Giles would be apprciated.

Thanks
