Has anyone tried an OS 70 4 stoke on a 40 size KAOS. I was just looking on Towers site and they suggest a 48 to 52. Think a 70 might be a little over kill, of just go ahead and make the flight controls real big and fly it 3D[&o]?

I've seen it done. The plane needed larger wheels for better ground clearance(large prop). I'm flying an O.S. .46FX and I get complaints for flying so fast. One reccomendation that I would give to anyone flying this type of ballistic missile( vintage pattern plane)- don't fly with other people around.

My modified Kaos kit is a smidge over five pounds and I found that the OS 46 was not able to pull it unlimited vertical at ballistic speed. It would pull unlimited vertical but would slow down some. I swapped out the 46 for an Irvine 53 and now I have ballistic vertical. It will do a vertical hover but the control surfaces are not large enough to hold it in an unlimited hover. It is kind of amazing to see a Kaos fly that fast with the fat Kaos wing but it does haul. Not as fast as my Tiporare but pretty darn fast.
