Giles G-202: 34-Inch Flexi-Foam Aerobatic Aircraft
The Giles G-202 is a precision aerobatic profile aircraft constructed from RC Factory’s innovative Flexi-Foam material. Its smooth and rigid surface provides crisp flight characteristics while offering greater flexibility and resistance to normal flight damage than traditional Depron-style foam.
The swept-wing design delivers stable tracking and quick control response for precision aerobatics, aggressive 3D flying, and optional reversible 4D performance.

Giles 202
I love the flex foam on the Giles 202. It keeps it shape so much better than EPP, which makes it fly better. Plus it’s a lot more durable too. I sure hope you make some more planes out of it flex foam soon.

Giles 202
Super stiff, and aggressive airframe! The Flexi-Foam captures the Depron feel perfectly while still taking a hit well!
