Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / March 2009original Bridi Kaos wing rib outlines wanted
Greetings I ran a across a set of kit plans from my old deceased Bridi Kaos - the original 59" version. They have everything on them to build one except the wing rib outlines. If anyone has a set of drawings, tracings, outlines for the wing ribs I would be most appreciative. Visions of putting one together with a K&B .61 and Kraft radio for nostalgia sake.

Plan set for US 60: <http://www.rcmmagazine.com/e/env/0001dIhcLWtHVvs4Q4263o6/store/store-plans-alpha .html?link=/store/store-plans-catalog-tem.html&item=plans:PL-1048> Oh, DOH! They have three KAOS plan sets, too: <http://www.rcmmagazine.com/e/env/0001dIhcLWtHVvs4Q48Q1y8/store/store-plans.html? link=/store/store-plans-alpha.html> Marty Although the site is still up, RCM is out of business and all the mail links are dead, so I dont think it is possible to order plans. Would be nice if they were avail from them. Has anyone got plans from them in the last 4 months?

However some books that I ordered moons ago have not arrived, despite many promisses that they would be here. If you attempt to call do it during Monday through Thursday only there is no-one there on Fridays!

It might interest you to know that many original Kaos kits are available from Bluebird Airplanes http://www.bridiairplanes.com/hangar/index.html I have a Dirty Birdy kit on the way.

Ed Cregger I have a wing kit which I think is for the Bridi Kaos. Its a Kaos for sure, I just need to verify that its for the 59" Bridi. If so, I can trace and/or scan the ribs. Also willing to sell the wing kit itself if interested. As far as tracing, I guess a ball point pen would be best? Save the scan as a .jpg or ?

Include a good ruler in each scan so that your audience can verify that their printout is accurate. Graphics programs often do weird things to scale pictures to the page--and there may be some bias introduced by the printer, too. Not all pixels or dots are created equal. :o( Dedicated plans-drawing programs like StarCad (out of business now?) or AutoCad (waaaaaaaaaay too expensive for hobbyists!) or ProFili can do a good job printing plans accurately.

Good point! Marty Download the freeware version of Profili here: http://www.profili2.com/eng/default.htm Design your ribset, print it out, and use rubber cement or artist's adhesive to stick the printouts to the wood. Cut. The "Bridi airfoil" is almost exactly a NACA 0016. DougSter AMA L43210 I got a belated reply from RCM and thier plans service is still in business. And they advertise a 4 for 3 offer. So I guess problem is solved! http://www.rcmmagazine.com/e/env/0001YTxwuZnCsM8LDo52123/shows/2005/free/free-05 2005-1.html?link=/e/env/00018Om4ZOZJpzEj9s3w8x8/store/rcm-store.html&link=/store /store-plans.html or google RCM Plans Thanks for all the helpful replies! RCers are great.
