Giles Aerobatics

Martin Osswald in Wallerstein, Germany writes that his G200 project is nearly ready to fly.

Tom and Dan Franscioni own this G202 serial 61 based in Salinas, CA.   Sean DeRosier finished the plane in 2003 and sold it to Tom and Dan in 2005 with 65 hours.  It competes in Advanced with Tom at the controls and Intermediate with Dan flying.  They have about 600 hours on the Giles now.  It is powered by a modified IO-360 parallel valve and 200C Whirlwind prop.

Prototype G-202 N202CU was bought by Matt Hall and shipped to Australia in 2005 where it was registered VH-YLF.   He has since sold it to Michael Greig, but Matt still has use for promotional work.

Says Steve Bergevin: This is serial number 8, which was the second kit shipped. I received the first box of parts in the summer of 1996, made the first flight in spring of 2003. I have been giving joy rides to many people since then, have only done 2 contests.

N246SK she was formally N108MP built by MIke Penketh and Akrotech in 1999. She has 320hrs on her and a whirlwind and a strait valve aio-360 built by BPE.  Now owned by Glenn Maynard in Denton, TX.

Bryan Taylor flies this G202 built by Noel Summer and completed in 2002.  Bryan is an alternate for the 2010 United States Advanced Aerobatic Team competing in Radom, Poland.   Bryan in N202NS.  The G200 in formation is flown by owner pilot Mark Nowosielski.

Mark Nowosielski owns and flies this beautiful 200 built by P. Stone and J.J. McRostie, completed in 1997. The plane behind N200PJ is Brian Taylor in Giles 202 N202NS.

This kit belongs to Vittorio Primultini. He was an AWAC team member for the Italian team in 2002. He is corresponding with me (Bob Freeman) as he finally gets going on his kit (2/7/2009). He is looking for advice on any and all things that people would recommend. He has had this kit in it's current state since at least 2002 and probably longer ago than that.

Jim Wells wrote in December, 2008: This is the kit that was begun by Jeff Seckendorf about 1995. Jeff did some of the work in his shop in Satatoga Springs, NY, and some of it at Composites Unlimited in OR. The plane is on the gear. All flight surfaces are closed. The wing root fairings are not yet attached to the wings. The engine cowling is not fitted. There is no plumbing or wiring.
