Thank you so much for posting this video. Great job putting all of it together with the music. I fly IMAC which stands for International Miniature Aerobatic Club, you must fly precision aerobatic routines much like what these full scales are doing.

thanks so much for this great video!

Thank you so much for posting this by the way! This is the only video I've seen of a Velox flying. One of the rarest, and most phenomenal acro mounts ever designed. Do you have anymore footage of it?

[MGB1977Red]

Yes, the Giles is the 300, owned by Bob and Marta Meyer.

what song is this

[S2bboy]

@MGB1977Red How long was was the Giles 300? was it the same size as the 202??

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

Red Bull pays the bills. If Red Bull came to you and said they would like to give you a few planes, money for fuel, and a salaray, what would you do? :D :D Where do I sign? lol

[danielhenriquetostes]

Besides of signing , like you , I'd even change my name !!!!

[fourg634me]

Terrible music, why can't we just hear the airplanes

[chubsmagoo]

I miss Kirbys old Edge, that paint job was awesome!!! He needs to get back into Competition flying and get out of that red bull crap

[famjunior]

those pilots are good, well done... but Sean Tucker is the best!

[JGUIGNARD]

@famjunior

Sean is an amazing airshow pilot, and I thoroughly enjoy watching him fly, but there is a big difference between flying airshows and unlimited competition so I don't believe you can really compare the two. A lot of the competition pilots also fly great airshow routines.

[famjunior]

@JGUIGNARD well, you are right my friend. anyway... any pilot who has courage to do those airbatics moves and do it safely is great!

[lieutfunaki]

If there was a Giles 202 there, it wasn't in the video. The Giles in the video is the only Giles 300 ever built. It was roughly based on the Giles 202 airframe, but had only a single seat and significantly more sweep to the wing...supposedly to help snaps. Did I mention it had 300hp?

[Boogie3D]

What's this music?

[MGB1977Red]

The WAC at Lakeland featured Sukhoi 29 and 31 as well as a Velox that performed quite well. Hot and humid weather made shade an important commodity. A lone Giles 202 was on hand and the German team was missing completely due to the expense of shipping aircraft across the ocean.
