Default RE: Tower Kaos 40 – Discussion

I’m not sure what version they were selling 18 months ago. As far as I know there was the early original that had the terrible non-shrinkable covering, then the MonoKote version, and now the Red and white version. Surprisingly the wood quality and glue work on this one looks pretty good. The main gear blocks and firewall look like they are done well and they usually are the week points in most ARFs. The engine bay and fuel tank area is pre coated with some type of fuel proofing. Both wings look very good on both sides and all the ribs look solid and straight. The covering looks OK but has a few wrinkles. After XLOTs heads up on the covering I sent Tower an email asking them for their recommendations for shrinking out the wrinkles. I’ll post their response in this thread. If the covering doesn’t fall off it looks like a great value! I’ve posted some more images showing the construction and glue work.
