Guys,
One of the best parts about my Aircraft Consulting business (R2 Aviation LLC) I get to do pre-buy inspections and fly very cool airplanes. My dream kit-plane was always the Giles 202. When I built my RV4 it was a compromise as the Giles was out of my price league.
Well this weekend I finally got to not only inspect, but fly a G-202. I wasn't disappointed! Thanks to the owner Scott Francis, I was treated to yanking and banking by myself and him demonstrating part of his stellar airshow routine. The roll rate exceeds the F16, initial G-onset nearly identical. Simply put, I want one! This should be the RV-16...
Casting taboo to the wind as it's not RV-related, still a great airplane!
Enjoy!
