Within a 13 day time frame, I purchased a Tower Hobbies Kaos ARF, assembled (mostly by my magic elf; AKA Dad), and successfully maidened it! That must be some type of record speed, at least for me. The overall quality of the plane is very good. My only complaint was a few wrinkles on the control surfaces which were near impossible to iron out. Assembly went together very rapidly because my Dad did all the difficult parts that I tend to dread such as gluing on the tail feathers and hinging. Thanks Dad! Equipped with OS 46 AX, Futaba 7 channel 2.4 receiver, Futaba standard digital servos.
Maiden flight was uneventful. This bad boy flies fast and straight. Perfect sport pattern plane. Lands pretty fast. Might need to add some tail wait.
What I like:
- Fits in WRX fully assembled.
- Retro look.
- Quiet engine.
- Engine runs well and starts easily.
- Very affordable fun.
- Can fly/race with other fellow fliers, namely Dad and brother.
Nine flights during Memorial day weekend!
Update: 6-20-11:
Oodles more flights on the Kaos. Won second place at local fun fly event.
Mid air collision with brother's Extra. Kaos down for the count. Total loss.
What a fun plane though!
Thanks for the credit, and I am so glad it flies so well and makes you look so good, lol!
