Mikey you should build the Curare if you have the plan. Better yet, please make me a copy. It would fly about 100-110 with the piped 60's of 25 years ago which wasn't really unmanageable speed. You'd like it if you flew the old style pattern. And if you built it light enough, you can prop it down with a stretched pipe, and it would do a respectable job on today's pattern.

Hey BTW, I flew a Kaos all the way into Masters competition when my main ride went down, quite some years ago now. It was and still is a pretty good pattern trainer and not terribly fast compared to something like an Arrow or Curare. But much too stable for what we do now to be a serious contender in higher classes at Nats level competition. However, I would bet it could hold its own in the right hands, at local comps through at least Intermediate.
