i'm getting my kaos kit soon to start practiceing patern i was wondering i should do to enhance the performance........like make the control serfaces bige or something......and what mixes should i put in........what is the absalut bigest engine i could put in it and...whanot.....anything you guys want to add would be fine.

The Kaos flies very well stock. But, I have cut the height down on the vertical fin by a couple of inches and increased the width to make up for it. I did the same for the rudder just because I thought the original vertical looked odd.

Having said that, you need to provide more information. What Kaos kit are you getting? What size? I'm sure you could figure out a way to stick a Moki 2.1 on the nose of a 60 sized Kaos, but I wouldn't advise it. These models don't take a huge amount of power to make them fly really well. Be careful with larger than called for engines because you could very well do nothing more than increase the weight of the finished model without any real gain, maybe a loss, in overall performance. In pattern or sport flying, there's no need to change any of the control surfaces. The control surfaces are just about perfect as they are stock. The Kaos is pretty sensitive to elevator as it is and has plenty of authority with rudder and aileron as well. There's no need for mixing as the model flies straight as designed, but again, this can depend on which kit you are getting and how well you build it. There's no way to tell what, if any, mixes your model might need until you fly it which is what you should do on any model before getting carried away on the setup.

I've had two GP Super Kaos 60's and currently have a DC Ultimate Kaos. All have been fantastic fliers with Ultimate Kaos being a little faster and smoother but also more difficult to slow down on landing.

well i'm going to get my Towerhobbies Kaos 40 in the mail soon.

I strong sport 45-46 sized 2-stroke with a stock muffler will make that Tower Kaos 40 a rocket ship. Build it stock and fly the snot out of it.

John

ok sounds good thnaks for the help!

chris

would a tower hobbies .46 power it good like through all the sportsman manuvers?

Yes, that engine would power it very nicely and with power to spare for that pattern.

John

sorry to keep buging you abount engines but i'm tying to find a engine i can aford would a Magnum XLS 46A ABC work or is it like a LA and underpowerd.

Check out the engine forum, but I'm pretty sure the Magnum XLS's are pretty good engines and should be a good match for this model. You definately do not want an LA type engine if you plan on flying this model in contests.

John

here's my choices MDS .58 , OS 46 FX , ASP .46 , Magnum.46. tahnks for the help.
