A couple of other things:

Disregard the wood engine mount beams you see in the photos. The kit comes supplied with a glass-filled engine mount that bolts to the plywood firewall. I ended using a glass-filled mount (the wood beams didn't work, but that's another story). The other thing (which doesn't really matter) is the engine I used in the photo is an old, worn out Super Tigre G.61. It has the same mounting dimensions as the Super Tigre G.75 and G.90, so I used it to shape the nose. I installed the new G.75 after the airplane was complete.

Good luck!

thanks alot for all the help.
for now i will wait for my tower kaos, which i am planing to mount a 55 ax. probably it is the best way to get started in classic pattern.
later on i will move on to the larger kaos.
thanks again.

Wowzer, an OS 55AX in the Tower 40 Kaos! Man, that thing should really go. Isn't that about 1.75 HP? Let me put that into perspective. I flew a 60-size Super Kaos (slightly smaller than the Killer Chaos) first with an old Super Tigre Bluehead G.60 (1.1 HP stock) and later with a Super Tigre G.61 (1.75 HP stock). I added a tuned muffler and Perry carburetor, so my guess is that the G.61 was making about 2.0 HP. The Kaos was pretty fast.

I wonder how the Killer Chaos would do with a G.90 in it. Probably go into orbit

I couldn't remember what the Banshee was, so I looked it up. I found a pattern airplane designed by Jim Martin called the Banshee. He designed it back in the 1970's. Is that the one? It is described as a fast pattern airplane, perhaps one of the fastest. Fiberglas fuselage and foam-core wings. Sound like a real classic!

Best of luck with your new airplane. And please let us know when you get it flying. Post pictures!

Youll love it over the years i have had 3 60 size an super kaos with a st46,,an a scratch built 90" with a st2500 with tuned pipe. they each were great flyers. at really high speed they have a strange tail wabble. only really fast diving pass to get it to do it (nothing to worry about) ill try to post my last one, Jim & I built a pair of these back in the late 70s, We lost Jim a few years ago, i got all his stuff in my shop.[image][/image]

Man the wing design has an uncanny resemblance to some of the big name planes taking to air in current days.

Yes you'll find that airfoil in many airplanes. Off the building board its a really great flyer. Its very forgiving in respect to roll rate. I will not do anything dumb on you. I always wanted to build one with retracts, but i enjoyed to landing it nose high on mains. On a good smooth runway i could keep the nose off an do a touch an go..really cool. Also a waist high inverted flyby was neat for last flight in dead air at sunset..You'll enjoy it.

I'm thinking of ordering a Tower Kaos for a practice bird.

Is anyone flying that airplane with a .46AX and if so what prop are you using. How is the performance and vertical with your setup?

Would it be better to go with a .55AX from the get go? Any comments and insights appreciated
