Only watch the first 50 seconds.....unless you really like David Lee Roth, after he left Van Halen.
That is Dave himself as the fat Picasso brother.

This was when MTV actually played Music videos

The 40 size i got recently didn't have any numbers on it.

Does anyone actually know if these will be coming back into stock, as my existing 60 KAOS just had a tough landing, and I would like another one!

I know there are more on order from that factory but I'm not sure where they are in the production queue...i.e. the timeline for availability. It's quite some time for them to build the models then a couple months "on the water" to arrive in the states. Of course that only begins once one of their production lines starts making this particular model. I guess to make a short story long, all I can say is it hasn't been discontinued, there are just none available until the next production run.

Has everyone noticed that the Kaos 60 has a shipping date this fall. If you want one I suggest that you back order it now.

$164.99 is an incredible price for a 60 size ARF. The Old-School kit costs $235.95 and you have to buy covering, glue, wheels and other stuff on top of that. They must not pay the workers very much that make the ARF's.

Why are other ARF's like the Escapade 60 more expensive ($219.99). Kaos looks like much more airplane to me. I never understood how they could sell it for such a low price.

Probably the only thread on RCG that we are complaining about the prices being to low - LOL.
I know what you guys are going to say - Just buy it, be happy, and keep your mouth shut.

Don't give them ideas.... Let them keep the prices!

Ordered one, very good quality construction.

That's been my experience with this ARF also -very good build quality.

Man, over a year and still no more yet.. A guy in my club has one, looks like such a nice plane and seems to fly well, I not flown it myself. I used to have a Super Koas back 15 years or more ago. never could keep the darn glow engine running, was going to go electric but never finished, ended up losing interest and trading to someone else.

That's still about 1/3 the price if building one from a kit or plans.

.

Part of the price increase is due to shipping, its a big box.

Just as I was about to start the assembly of the KAOS when one of these became available after being assembled last winter by clubmates and test flown once. An original Bridi Hobby Enterprises fibreglass fuselage and foam wing kit from the 80s or 90s. Could not resist. 11 flights on it already, what a dream to fly. Assembled to be a tail dragger.

It has a Power 60 470 kv, works very well on this plane, but the gear had to be made taller to accommodate the 15x8 prop. Getting 6 minute flights on 6000 6s.

Look forward to comparing the two.
