Really came out great!! The photos make it look huge too. A Question, did you cover the wing fillets or paint them?? I just started a covering job today, if anyone wants to see how I do the wing and aileron in one piece just ask, I will take photos.
take photos and post them here or a new thread....im open to learning more.....i want to build a kaos as my second kit...should be easier than the ultra sport
Do to out of town guests, A good thing!! It will be a few days more before I'm allowed out to my shop for my alone time. I will post a new thread just to show how easy it is. The Kaos and the US are almost the same plane and the Kaos kit is from Blue Jay. These are the same instructions as when Joe was still cutting the kits and there have been minor changes and shown on the plans, at least they are on the Dirty Birdy. A big warning, these old planes are not hard to build but the instructions are just written and there are none of those nice photos to help show you what they are talking about. Simple planes but they are still old school builders kits. The wood selection was still great, maybe a bit on the heavy side but these old planes were built to last for decades. I also did a cool trick in my wing with two LED landing lights and I want to post photos to show how simple that is too. These were installed because of the open area I fly on and there is a spot on approach that you loose sight of the plane. Just a simple trick and really cheap.
