Thanks Brian.

I just got back from the maiden flight...WOW!
If the S.K. flew that well, I can't wait to see how the Dirty Birdy and others fly.
At just under 7 lbs it was a different feel than the Atlas I flew at around 10 lbs.
Anyway, I won't bother with the flight details because 'someone' didn't take any photos and my buddy was calling out the sequence for SPA.

When I got the Kaos it didn't have ailerons so I made my own out of soft balsa and then I glassed them with 2 oz glass and vacuum bagged them to make them stiffer. My wife found out how well iron on covering sticks to glass that was applied with peel ply...much better than to balsa.
Here's a picture of them in the bags on a 3/8" glass sheet with weights to make sure they're straight.

(Finished photos later).
