Building the Kaos 40

Well UPS finally came thru and delivered the Kaos 40 to me last night. Mind you there is still no tracking information on the UPS site. I didn't know where the package was so I ended up calling UPS who couldn't find it either, so UPS had me call TowerHobbies to get a tracer on the package. They said they would call me back when they found it... so when I got home last night, what was stitting on the porch? Yep my package.

While kinda miffed it took so long to get here, I was at least happy to get it.

I was actually kinda shocked to see how well built the plane was. I was expecting to see wrinkled covering and some other problems, but no, not a one, other than where the gear plugged into the wings, and that material would be cut away anyways to put the wire gear in.

I really didn't work on it too much last night other than mounting the front gear steering system and the motor mount.

I should be able to finish the wing up tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures of the process as well.

The rest of the gear from Tower Hobbies is showing delivery on the 4th-6th. This weekend I'll head up to Nashua, NH with the Wife and pick up some glowfuel and a glow plug for the .46FX.

More on the build later.
