Chino,

The video is nice shot of the plane and of very good quality! Can you tell me amount of MB?


Orion? Taurus?

Of course it is no point at all only for our historical way of looking at the plane it iis interesting to have attention for it in this period.
If you want we can make a more detailed comparison trying to reconstruct the builders way of building in the past. The know-how is here, the tools we have to make.

If you want first of all is, make a new picture on certain distance of the plane.

I already did make mine.

Keep an eye on the plane or hold it in position wih your hands!!

Location of the camera:
Camere in top axle from "about" the CG.
Distance 254 cm is 100 inch measured from bottom of the plane near that CG.

By making these pictures and compare we eliminate most of cushion effect.


My way of thinking about, is it a Taurus or is it a Orion?

Look a the movie Tora Tora Tora, we can make a Harvard look like a Zero if we want.

So we first look at basic proportions of the fuselage because these are the key for the flight characteristics of the "We all know Taurus".
after that we keep in mind there are other possibilities:

Taurus with short tailcone, modification for proportional or Orion

Let me know what you think about this.
