Default Balsa USA Taube 40

Jim. RCM had an article on the Rumpler Taube a few years back, where they added a different tail and ailerons to the Taube. It was plan #1173, from the August 94 issue.

I used their aileron ideas on my Taube 40 that I built (and crashed) a few years back. You can see them quite clearly in this photo:


Mine was cloth covered. I used 21st Century fabric for the white. The red was Black Baron paint over Koverall. Very underpowered with an OS 40 Surpass, but it looked quite majestic rising off the ground. It died on its second flight thanks to a faulty elevator linkage. (MY fault!)
