If you like the Kaos but you want more fuselage side area for knife edge flight, check out the Ultra Sport 60. \u00a0I offer three choices of ribs for the three types of landing gear you could use: \u00a0tail dragger, nose wheel, or tail dragger with retracts.<\/p>\n
You will need to buy or make a canopy. \u00a0If all else fails, carve a canopy from a balsa block. \u00a0And of course you\u2019ll be building your cowl either from thick planks as shown on the plan, or from glass and resin, or a plastic bottle, or paper and glue, or whatever you choose. \u00a0If I try to cut out balsa parts for your cowl they probably wouldn\u2019t match your engine or motor anyway. \u00a0What it comes down to is that this is a bit of a builder\u2019s project, but it\u2019s a pretty easy one.<\/p>\n
There is one other important thing you need to keep in mind. \u00a0When you download the plan, check out the lower right corner of the fuselage sheet. \u00a0In the scan that is currently available, there is a bit of distortion which causes a discrepancy in size. \u00a0The person who scanned and uploaded this plan scaled it so the ruler in the title block is 6 inches, but due to the distortion this caused the fuselage plan to be larger than it is supposed to be. \u00a0So if you have the scan with the bottom of the right side sucked in, you need to print the fuselage sheet at 95.42% size, and the wing sheet at 100%. \u00a0(If you want to check it\u00a0yourself, open the PDF in a drafting program and check the size of the wheels.)<\/p>\n
If you have a full size original\u00a0or an accurate scan, don\u2019t worry about it. \u00a0Here\u2019s a picture of the distorted plan, for your info. \u00a0Notice the\u00a0curve in the lower right corner. \u00a0If you\u2019re still not entirely sure what I\u2019m talking about just send me an email and I\u2019ll help you get it figured out.<\/p>\n
