Does anyone have an experience with the "Newer" Tower Kaos ARF. Is it covered in monokote? How is the kit quality?

Thanks,
JAW

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.

We have two of them at our field, and I agree....they fly great!

I had one for a while that I bought for nostalgia sakes. I used an Evo .46. Flew great. Tracks very well in maneuvers, lands nicely, no bad habits. You'll enjoy the plane.

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.

"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.

I just ordered one as well....I did opt for the OS 50SX for a little extra boost....

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!
