WARNING:
The cowl included in this kit is made of
fiberglass, the fibers of which may cause eye, skin and
respiratory tract irritation. Never blow into the cowl to remove
fiberglass dust, as the dust will blow back into your eyes.
Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber
gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding fiberglass parts.
Vacuum the parts and the work area thoroughly after working
with fiberglass parts.
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top qual-
ity, thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately
the quality and fl yability of your fi nished model depends
on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way
guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to
the performance or safety of your completed model.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED
Glow Engine
The Kaos is suited for a .60 2-stroke or .91 4-stroke. The
O.S. Max .65AX (OSMG0558) is illustrated in this manual.
If side-mounting the engine as shown, the short muffler
extension will also be required (OSMG2582).
OTHER ACCESSORIES IF USING A GLOW ENGINE
❍
1/4" [6.4mm] R/C foam rubber (HCAQ1000)
❍
Great Planes Dead Center Hole Locator
(GPMR8130)
❍
4 mm tap and drill set (GPMR8113)
❍
Suitable propeller as specified by the engine
manufacturer
Brushless Electric Motor
The Kaos flies superbly with a 50-55-500 kV RimFire .80
(GPMG4740), 14"–15" propellers and a 6S LiPo in the
4000 mAh range.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
Any 75A ESC for brushless motors is suitable, but the
Castle Creations Edge 75 (CSEM0101) is recommended
because it has a heat sink and can be mounted to the
bottom of the motor mount box inside the cowl. Other ESCs
possibly may not fit in the cowl, but could be mounted in
the fuselage if adequate airflow is provided. A 6" servo
extension (TACM2092) will also be required to extend the
signal lead from the ESC to the receiver.
BATTERIES
You may use a 6S battery, or two 3S batteries connected in
series. This configuration depends on your charger capabilities
and what batteries you may already have available.
6S BATTERIES
❍
Flight Power 6S 4350mAh 30C (FPWP3436)
❍
Flight Power 6S 3800mAh 30C (FPWP3386)
❍
Flight Power 6S 3800mAh 70C (FPWP7386)
❍
Flight Power 6S 4400mAh 70C (FPWP7446)
3S BATTERIES (2 required)
❍
Flight Power 3S 4350mAh 30C (FPWP3433)
❍
Flight Power 3S 4000mAh 25C (FPWP2403)
❍
Flight Power 3S 3800mAh 30C (FPWP3383)
❍
Using two 3S batteries also requires a
Series
connector (GPMM3143)
OTHER ACCESSORIES IF ELECTRIC POWERED
❍
Double-sided adhesive-back Velcro is used to help
secure the battery (GPMQ4480)
❍
3/16" shrink tubing (DUBM2187) is required after
soldering the 4mm bullet connectors (included with
the RimFire motor) to the ESC
❍
A male “T” style battery connector is also required
to connect the ESC to the battery (HCAM4010)
❍
(4) #4 x 3/8" screws (for Castle Creations Edge ESC
mounting)
SUITABLE PROPELLERS FOR RIMFIRE .80
❍
APC 14 x 10E (APCQ1409)
❍
APC 15 x 7E (APCQ1830)
❍
APC 15 x 8E (APCQ4013)
Refer to page 19 for additional guidance on propeller
selection.
IMPORTANT:
Before connecting multiple battery packs with
adapter plugs, refer to the
Battery Precautions
on page 19.
LiPo BATTERY CHARGER
To charge a 6S 4000mAh LiPo recommended for the Kaos
at the minimum charge rate of 1C, a charger capable of at
least 100 watts output is required (6S x 4.2 V/cell = 25.2 V x
4A = 100 W). The Triton2 EQ (GPMM3156) is rated to 120W
DC and 100 W AC so it is a suitable for charger. A dual-output
charger of at least 50W per output would also be suitable
if using two 3S batteries in series.
Radio / Servos
A minimum 4-channels is required to fly the Kaos. The Tactic
TTX650 is recommended because of its versatility, computer
programming and multiple model memory.
❍
Tactic TTX650 6-channel programmable radio
(TACJ2650)
❍
Tactic TR625 6-chanel receiver (TACJ0625)
❍
On-off receiver switch (TACM2000)
A 2S, 1100 mAh LiFe pack (HCAM6416) was used to power
the receiver and servos. If using a receiver and servos other
than those suggested, make sure they are compatible with
the higher voltage of a LiFe battery, or use a different receiver
battery. The Triton2 EQ also has LiFe charge capabilities.
Tactic TSX25 mini digital high-speed 2 ball bearing servos
(TACM0225) are illustrated in the instruction manual. Three or
4 servos will be required depending on whether you power
your Kaos with an electric motor or glow engine. Standard-
