Thanks all for the great information! Going to send an email to Jett inquiring about my desired application, will post their comments.
I do like R_G's UFO build thread, tons of good ideas, you bet I'll build a foam cutter.

UPS will be delivering the kit this Friday, will be interesting to see what I got.

What I learned with my Kaos is that peak RPM is not the always the goal, finding the correct prop is what truely makes the difference.
I started with a 10X6, Magnum .46XL and Macs pipe was giving me just over 15k on the starter stand. Flew it for several weeks until I felt
very comfortable with the plane. Then I tried a 11x7, wow what a huge difference. The engine preformed so much better and this light weight
plane can perform. I still get good rpm out of the motor/pipe, think once airborn I may have been over-reving the Magnum. The Kaos is
pictured below.

Last January I got back into this hobby and built a Senior Telemaster. In May I flew it, it had been nearly 30 years since I flew an R/C plane.
Years ago I was too afraid to try a 4 channel plane, never learned. Thanks to my full scale flight training and Real Flight simulator, piece of cake.
As a teenager in the late 70's, the guys who flew pattern planes were the ones to watch. I was always one of those who said 'I wish I could fly one of those".
Attraction to the classic pattern planes has never faded, today I'm hell bent to learn to fly them and fly them well.
The current Ultimate Biplane project will give me some new experience as well.
