INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Tower
Hobbies Kaos .60 ARF. Those familiar with the original Kaos
design dating back to the early ‘70s (or earlier!) will have
nostalgic memories while enjoying a new flying experience.
Newer pilots unfamiliar with the Kaos’ history will enjoy a
good-flying model just the same! With its
Pattern pedigree
the Kaos is a smooth, easy flyer more than capable of
maneuvers with grace and precision!
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections
to the Kaos .60 ARF visit the Tower Hobbies web site at
towerhobbies.com and visit the page for the Kaos .60. If
there is new technical information or changes to this model
a “tech notice” box will appear on the page.

IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can
do to preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to
avoid flying near full-scale aircraft and avoid flying near or
over groups of people.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Protect Your Model, Yourself & Others…
Follow These Important Safety Precautions
1. Your Kaos should not be considered a toy, but rather a
sophisticated, working model that functions very much like
a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities,
the Sequence, if not assembled and operated correctly,
could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and
damage to property.
2. You must assemble the model according to the
instructions . Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so
may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases
the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those
instances the written instructions should be considered as
correct.
3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong .
4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in good condition,
a correctly sized engine, and other components as specified
in this instruction manual. All components must be correctly
installed so that the model operates correctly on the ground
and in the air. You must check the operation of the model
and all components before
every flight.
5. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown
this type of model before, we recommend that you get
the assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club
for your first flights. If you’re not a member of a club, your
local hobby shop has information about clubs in your area
whose membership includes experienced pilots.
6. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal
use, if the plane will be used for extremely high stress
flying, such as racing, or if an engine larger than one in the
recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible
for taking steps to reinforce the high stress points and/or
substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
