Big Chaos vs Stinger 120
Looking at a winter building project and these two are looking pretty good. Any suggestions or comments or inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Chaos hands down. I had a Direct Connection Chaos that I flew for years - it was my favorite plane until I dumb thumbed it into the ground. I finally found a kit that I can use to scratch build from - I definately will build another just like the one I had - unless I scale it up and build a big one. In all the years of flying, I haven't found anything as simple that flys as well as a Chaos.

I have a Chaos 60 now built from RCM plans, and it's real close to the top of my all time favorite plane list. It just does everything so well, and looks good doing it too!!! IMHO the only plane better than this is the Ultra Sport 60. But then again, the Chaos has the same wing as the Ultra Sport does, so that explains why they both fly so well!!!

Ken,
I have had both and the Chaos is my favorite. The US was a good flyer, but I was so irritated over the retractable gear from having to constantly bend them back into shape that I finally sold the plane. Maybe a fixed gear on it would have changed my mind.

I'm A Kaos guy myself and can't see myself without one. I just did some TLC to my old Bridi Killer today. Really is time for another rebuild and cover job.
Ken, if you can try to get some stick time on the Dirty Bridi Birdy. Does everything the Kaos will but holds A knife edge all day long. Been thinking of building one but so many planes, so little money. It may even be A bit more stable then the Kaos if that could happen.

I just came across two kits about a month ago. A Direct Connection Chaos and a Great Planes Kaos. Both are complete kits, and I picked them up for a song. $100 for both of them!!!!!!

Thumprding,
Do you get the feeling that we like the Kaos?
. Here's some food for thought Bluejay Models offers the Big Dirty Birdy 2+2 which is a 78" wingspan version of the 60 size kit. Personally I like the lines better on the Dirty Birdy and it flies equally as well as the Kaos.
Keep us posted and good luck with whichever one you choose.
Fly safe and have fun!!
