Gents,

IMAGING or IMAGINATION

There was some more time to spend in the “dust free period” so I did make one more step, made some more drawings after calculations, for the future “Flop” built.

Important argument is, each year, New Year’s day, I also do have some more empty rocket motor containers to store more drawings, so why not. (LOL) See picture 2 and 3.

Just as with the Oldest Taurus on Earth and the Crate picture I do need to know the POV, the exact location the original pictures are made from. Not only for detailed calculations and comparison but also to check the result of a reconstruction process after the plane is finished.

Calculated POV of one of “Flop” picture 1 to show what’s possible:

Reference line horizontal (no tail dragger), calculated is the distances from the propeler nut refenence location on the floor in x (307cm) – y (20cm) – z (148cm) direction to the centre of the objective.

It is also possible to express the location in angles starting with the propeller nut, 3,75 degrees horizontal forward, 23 degrees elevation, total distance between objective and propeller nut of the engine: 308,2 cm.
When the outside conditions are good I will make a picture of the Oldest Taurus on Earth replica with the use of the calculated values of this picture to do the important double check.

IMPORTANT NOTE,

Each situation does need a different way to calculate but, glad, for that we have all kind of programs now, see an example, piece of an personal Excel sheet formulae:
=PRODUCT(MACHT(COS(BOOGTAN((PRODUCT(SOM(K25;-K26);MACHT(SOM(J25;-J26);-1)))));-1);L25)

Disadvantage is , it is always complicated however you do it.

For who is interested in a comparable realized project in the English language, read the article “Rediscovery of the Nixie”. Shown by WEDJ in post 1149 of Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus thread! You also can read about the use of a laser beam instrument, not to verify a (crate) picture as I did, but to measure distances, reverse engineering, of a curved surface.

There still are people that think my project is "imagination", but these calculations are as old as the way to Rome. See post 1595 of the Ed Kazmirski's Taurus thread.

First picture the “Flop” with the data of the Point of View in distances and angles.

Picture 2 and 3 empty rocket motor containers to use for drawing storage. QA Hanna inspecting!
Picture 3 of Hanna, in her air-raid shelter under the stairs, food storage location. Always a problem all that firework.



More to come. (also the pictures!, done)
