RE: Tower Kaos ARF?
Three at my field, all fly great. The covering is monokote, and well done. The plane goes together quickly, and every thing fits as it should. I can't think of any cautions, just follow the manual and you should be in the air shortly. I fly mine with an OS.46FX and that is plenty of power.

RE: Tower Kaos ARF?
I bought one and started teaching my girlfriend to fly with it. I put an OS .46 on it and it flys real easy. She had no problems learning with that plane. In fact, after only two flights she started doing loops and rolls and such and I got excited and asked her, "What the hell are you doing?!". She said, "Shut up! I'm flying!!!". HAHA!!!

aaron Watch out she'll be giving you competition before you know it. I think the ARF KAOS flies almost as good as the original and I know it flies as good as the kit, 'cause I've had both.....I don't think there is a bettr bargin out there for this kind of plane.

RE: Tower Kaos ARF?
"Snoopy" is one of our older airplanes, and by far has the most hours put on it of any in our 32 years of flying. Originally built with a swept back trailing edge, it would do the flattest spin you ever saw....but was unrecoverable! It would flat spin right into the ground, we'd go get it fuel it up and fly it again! So we wound up building the wing as Joe Bridi intended the Sun-Fli 4 to be built---this one being the Sun-Fli 4-20----having a Supertigre 34 helicopter engine it is extremely nimble and very light. I wish the Kaos ARF would have been a Sun-Fli but wouldn't take much to modify it.

It's a good plane to practice aerobatic, fly very good, goes fast and slow, land like a trainer. They only thing, it's a bit slow on snap roll. Mine is with an OS46AX. There's an inflight video of mine.

It's not a bad plane at all, just make sure that you seal all the edges with the clear nail polish, it always work for me. ALso you can just iron the covering at medium low temp. The OS 46 is a perfect match with a 11x7 prop. If you want to do pattern just for fun it's not to bad but there is better plane out there, but I like the Kaos, it's a classic!

having built several original kaos I agree the tower plane flews fine with my os 46.hard to beleive for a little more than 100 bucks you can get a good arf but this one is a great little plane to take to the field and have a goot time but its true. now ya think maybe they could offer retracts??lol
