Blake,
Nice looking Kaos!
Is that paint on the fuse or is it all Monokote (I take it the wing is MK judging by the
light kick off it)?
Looks like an older gold head FSR up front too. Nice engines.
Congrats on your win!
David.
P.S. While you appear to have equal building skills to your pilot skills, I'd recommend going for a foam core wing and stab design. I'm not sure if the compensator kit you have has such surfaces. If you want an easy fuse to
build, go with Don's (Frequent Flyer handle) glass fuse Atlas
It does not have an integral fin but he can probably provide you with a fin/rudder core as well as the wing/stab cores. A wood Deception fuse probably goes together as quickly as the prep work required get a glass fuse setup for engine and radio. But then, if you like paint, the glass fuse will prep faster than the wood fuse. Just some other thoughts...
David,
Thank you for the nice complements. I wish I had the skills to paint, but at least I do know my way around a MK iron. It is all MK. The engine is now a SF with a Nelson pipe. I just could not get the FSR to run right...
The Compensator is the foam wing and tail variety. I have not built a foam wing in 20 years (prefer built up) but plan for this next build to be foam. I will have to lean on the forum for help there. I have a nice foam cutter that I want to use to honey comb the cores, just need to learn how the pattern is achieved.
