Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Gents,

It is still interesting to search for data and (wait for) pictures I see.

In Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus thread post 2178 we see for the first time a second picture of the “Flop” by RFJ.

In my post 730 of this thread I did show this “Flop” also compared with the Blue Angel design development. See the first picture of that post.

Ed did write about this Taurus in article “The Champ Chats.” Radio Control Models and Electronics, October 1962. See first picture.
This model was widely known already only not commercial attractive, no success!
My explanation? Switch over from tail dragger to tricycle plane, see my post!

More to come, Cees.
