Oldest successful Taurus on Earth.

There are still some activities on the “To Do” list.

One of these is mounting the monitoring system in the replica of Ed’s first succesfull Taurus, the Wester Taurus. See picture 1.
In page 5 we see the construction and preparations for the airspeed transmitter.

Picture 2 of this post the important data and a small interesting fact to show.
Fuess equipment was widely used in the German airplanes in WW2, measurement of engine load pressure (Yes Ed did do experimenting too with (roots)blowers on a motorcycle!!)
and altitude instruments.

Google for “Fuess Ladedruckmesser”

For industrial usage there are still calibration data of which I do have an example and look that date 1961!

So all related, date of the plane, spring 1961 and the calibrating somewhere in 1961 synchronized.

Work to do, adding about 100 grams in the plane for data logging of airspeed, temperature, rpm, altitude etc
