new airplane
 

Hi all -
ok i am looking to buy an airplane. I want to get something that flies fast like the tower Kaos - I had a Kaos but the size 40 and I want to get the size 60 but can't find it anywhere.

any suggestions out there on a second plane?

thanks

Buy the plans and scratch build it: http://www.rcmmagazine.com/store/sto...CoxAWsTDg7s6Q5

Or get a similar kit: http://www.bridiairplanes.com/hangar/utterchaos60.html or http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJ584&P=0

Buy an Ultra Sport 60. It's got the same wing as the Kaos does, but flies better because of the sheeting turtledeck. It knife edges better than the Kaos. The US is probably the best flying sport plane ever built. There was a reason why Mike and I campaigned Great Planes for 3 years to have this kit brought back into production!!!

Trust me, after you fly one you'll understand. And you'll want to always have one in your hangar too!!!

ohhh no no no - I have no time to build from scratch - I wish I did, but I don't - [:o]

I'd love to see these in ARF version

It's not from scratch. It's available as a kit that is very complete. And it's on sale right now for $124.99

what is the difference between the ARF and the kit?

RE: new airplane
 

Uhh, there is no Ultra Sport ARF. It is a kit. You post said building one from scratch. In this hobby "building from scratch" usually means that you buy all the wood for the plane, mark the parts, cut them out and sand them yourself, and then build the plane. Also, building from scratch means you have to select and buy all the hardware for you plane. When you build from a kit the complex parts are already cut out for you. Plus, most, if not all, of the hardware is included in the kit.

With an ARF all you are doing is the final assembly of the plane. there is no actual building involved.
