Default RE: Modified Taurus restoration.

Unlike Cees, I too think that you have done a nice job of a modified, stock Taurus. The fin/rudder outline has only been slightly tweaked, but it is Taurus, the internal structure, what can be seen, is certainly Taurus, diagonal doubler sheet and thick triplers. The removeable tank cover is a personal mod, certainly no standard Orion or Taurus shows it. A good idea, but it might lead to a slightly less stiff front end. Bolt on wing was a common mod, even back in the day. I like the wing fairings too, again you could only fit them with a bolt on wing. Should be a nice, fun model. Could you update later on weights and flight report?
