Kyosho Giles 202

   This is Kyosho's 60 size ARF.  Eric bought it new off eBay for under $200 

    

Here it is, just completed, very early in Sept. 2002. In this picture it sports an old OS .61Sf.

Eric usually likes others to check out his plane before his first flight.  Here we are starting it for his big, first flight.

This is it right before take off.

Victory! Presented here is one happy new owner.

The ARF was easy to put together, and is awesome to fly. The instructions are interesting because there are very few words. It is mostly cartoonish illustrations. It was easy to understand except for where to put the CG. The CG is clearly labeled but where it is measured from is anything but obvious. Fortunately my friend put his together without giving the problem due consideration. It worked! So, in the end, we used his location.

Here is what Eric can do

Eric crashed the Giles 202 on October 18, 2003. He was flying it around when another plane hit him and sent him down. We found most of the parts on the edge of a pond. The OS .61 FX was totaled and so was the plane. Eric started right away looking for another plane.
