Default Modified - Tower Kaos 40 Kit

I’ve never been a big fan of the Kaos design because of its thick airfoil, preferring the thinner wing Kwik Fli taper wing, but years ago when Tower was still selling their Kaos in kit form I bought one and stored it away for a future build. In May of 2004 I completed the build and used an OS 46 for power. The fuselage was narrowed as much as possible and the nose section molded into the spinner to improve the aerodynamics. Although I used the wood provided in the kit the flying weight came out to 5lb 3oz.
