I downloaded plans for a Kaos called CadKaos. It has a span of 58" and is designed for a .61 engine. Does anyone know how this would be different than the Tower Kaos designed for a .40 with a span of 55"? I'm interested in building it and using an OS 46FX since I have that engine. Any comments?
One difference I see is that the wing is mounted a bit higher in the Tower Kaos, and has part of the fuselage built onto the bottom of the wing.

I don’t know the CadKaos but I believe the original 60 size Kaos used a 58” wing span and because the root cord as so wide it had a lot of wing area for a short wing span. Most of the aircraft of that vintage had around 650 sq in, used 60s and had about 11” root cords. I believe the Kaos 60 had a root cord of about 12” or 13”! The Tower Kaos 40 has 566 sq in wing area and flies well with a 46. You could reduce the plans to a 40 size. Rainedav reduced his CadKaos even smaller to a 15 size
