For me it was the first time I flew a pattern type airplane.  I had
progressed as a pilot through trainers to low wings and then by chance I
built a Kaos.  I chose it because I thought it looked nice and fit the
only engine (OS .45FSR) I had.  Once I flew it the first time, I was
hooked!  I liked that plane so much I built three of them over the
years, the last two as tail draggers with retracts.  Pattern planes fly
so well that even novice pilots can appreciate the way they groove and
respond to control inputs.
