Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Hello Joe,

That will be a very nice Taurus, great !.

Yes the paint scheme!! Interesting question.

I do have the crate picture, the important photograph of this thread, this project.

There is shown bottomside of one set of wings. These wings basically belonged to the fuselage on the right side in the crate. That is the "First successful Oldest Taurus on Earth".

The fuselage on the left side and the wings on the right side, together, were the Taurus Ed flew in 1962 at the NATS. No bottom visible!!

The wings on the left side don't have the small red dash on the white back ground, but rest of the scheme is identic with the top side.

Best thing to do is use same scheme on bottom as on top but without that small dash.

Still interesting to know!
In this thread you can read the wings at the left side in the crate Ed did use at the world championships in Genk 1963, instead of the wings at the right side!!
These are also the wings that are in the AMA museum in Muncie now, together with the left side fuselage!
The Taurus I show is the replica of the right side fuselage and the left side wings, the first successful Oldest Taurus on Earth!
