Giles G-202 is an unlimited-level aerobatic airplane designed by Richard Giles. This carbon fiber composite monoplane was manufactured by AkroTech Aviation in Troutdale, Oregon. The tandem two-seater was based upon on the single-seater Giles G-200.〔 The G-202 was produced and sold as kit plane by AkroTech, and slightly modified as CAP 222 by Avions Mudry (France).〔(Aeromodelism.com: Giles 230cm anvergura ) - accessed 2008-03-21〕〔(Aircraft World Directory: Avions Mudry CAP 222 ) - accessed 2008-03-21〕 ==Operational History== *In 1999 airshow performer Wayne Handley broke the world record for the most consecutive flat spins in a Giles G-202 performing 78 spins. The record was broken in 2014 by Spencer Suderman in 2014 in a Pitts S2-B performing 81 spins from 23,000 ft altitude. *A Giles 202 crashed on Friday 28 August 2015 during practice for an air show at Stewart International Airport near New Windsor, about 60 miles north of New York City. Photos taken by a bystander show the tail separating from the aircraft as the pilot was in an ascending maneuver.
