I have the Tower Kaos 40 sitting in a box in the basement. Did you build the right thrust into the model? Other Bridi plans or kits had some down thrust, but not right thrust. The original plans for the Super Kaos Jr. had no right or down thrust at all? What difference would removing it make on the Tower Koas 40?
Anyone's views?

It depends upon your philosophy.
The right and downthrust were attempts at curbing the model's tendency to roll to the left when accelerating or climbing suddenly (right thrust). The downthrust was there to help prevent the necessity of carrying some down elevator trim in level flight (the model is biased to fly with the canopy pointing skyward).
To me, these are holdovers from the reed days of pattern flying. I prefer for everything to be set at zero. YMMV.
