The old Joe Bride kits are still available from Bluejay Airplane Kits.

I flew the Chaos, Super Chaos, Killer Chaos 60, and a somewhat modified Choas. I call these planes the !QUOT!Poor Mans Pattern Plane!QUOT!. At $85.00 for the Killer Chaos 60 is really cheap verses a few hundred $$$ for an up to date pattern plane. All of these planes fly very well doing knife edge, 4-point rolls, etc. I'd say that it all depends on if you want to spend the time building or put out the big bucks on an ARF or AFC. Everyone in this forum can tell you what the planes will do and wont do but until you put one together and fly it yourself Will you be able to form your own opinion. I have been out of the hobby for over 12 years and just got back into it and my first plane was a Great Planes U-CAN-DO .46. Beautiful flying plane but my next plane will be the !QUOT!Joe Bride Killer Chaos 60!QUOT!
