8178: I watched that auction and the results indicate more than one soul was hot for that kit. Makes me wish I had several sitting around. Not my gig, but then others don't approve of my spending either. Just glad to see vintage kits/designs stay with us. I'm about to start a Kaos myself. No slams against modern technology. just have a soft spot for kinder, simpler designs.....All I need.

The odd thing about those Top Flite Kwik Fli III kits is that the Taper Wing version like I have fly much better than the old barn door wing version and they are both from the late 60s! Plus you can get the kit like I have with either wing and they wont cost $525.99! The Kaos is a great airframe as well! Kind of like a thicker wing Taper Wing Kwik Fli with a square fuselage.

I kind of like the simple planes to build also. But $529 on Ebay. Too rich for my pocket for an old kit.

Too much money for a KWIK FLI, but I have an Ultimate Kaos Kit, a Killer Kaos Kit and a built GP Kaos that I have been flying since 1985. That is one design that is timeless. Easy to build, easy to fly and it will still do about anything you ask of it. Yeah, I will stay with the old ones, but not for 529 bucks. You could build one from plans for about a 100 bucks.

If you really want to build a Kwik Fli III there are other sources.

Yes the keyword is "left".
"I must suspend production of the Taurus, King Altair, Simla and Qwic-Fly. As of this writing I cannot say if this is permanent or temporary"
I got a Simla kit before they where out of stock.
