Coming Soon:
29% Giles 202 UL 76” Span. Where to begin………how
about, “wow”. We tested the first proto-type
with a Brison 2.4 (40cc) gas engine. We used JR digital
servos, and standard Nicad batteries for both the receiver
and ignition. The model took about 10 hours to assemble.
Let’s cut to the chase….weight is always
the topic of discussion when it comes to this type of
plane. The production sample, built as stated above,
ready-to-fly weight on a UPS digital scale minus fuel…..10.9
LBS!!!!!! OK…some will ask, how? Answer, the construction
techniques. The largest weight savings was in the landing
gear assembly and support. The landing gear on this
model is made up of carbon fiber tubes, sleeved into
carbon fiber sleeves, triple bearing supported inside
of the fuselage. No need for heavy aluminum or the slightly
lighter alternative, composite gear. Best of all, no
need for the heavy plywood landing gear plates. Check
out the Giles product page for detailed pics. The next
significant weight savings was in the canopy / hatch
assembly. This assembly is blown-molded, and painted
to match. One piece, no wood or foam….other than
the formers. Simple and VERY light. I could go on and
on. We have the second production sample ready-to-fly
with an OS 1.60FX….all up dry weight 10.4 LBS.
The plane flies awesome! We expect them to arrive in
the middle to end of May. Check back for additional
updates.
3D Buddy Series “Katana”: Production sample
testing has been going great. These planes are too much
fun. All 3D maneuvers are easily performed. Walls, parachutes,
harriers…..all rock solid and stable. We know
that it will 3D, However lately I have been precision
flying the new “Katana”….smooth rolling
circles, knife-edge slips, rolling loops, etc. Check
out the Buddy “Katana” product page for
more details. Additional updates will be coming soon.
