This thread is a better place for the question about the Wester(n) Taurus, so I also show it here.
This was my answer, and endeed, still waiting for the jury:

I never get positive responses from these people that cooperated in the thread about Ed Kazmirski's Taurus so I let it for what it was and didn't show further results of my research. All I documented and stored in my own archive.
The Taurus is finished and is a good pattern ship as we could expect from the designer Ed Kazmirski. Even the shorter tailcone of this earliest succesfull Taurus is a big pro for modern proportional pattern flying. Yes the commercial Top Flite Taurus later was shortened too to make the model better responding to proportional flying.
Ed enlarged the earliest Taurus 150 % to design the Simla so it was also a successful job for me to redesign the Simla too within the smallest discrepanties with modern computer technics. The Simla was proportional controlled too.(1965)
The 'Wester' Taurus, ( Wester is my backname) was called that way to wait for responses and what I wrote the jury is still out. see the first page of my thread, so still is the Wester Taurus.

Drawings are made and the plane is flying for several years now so just as in the past also this Taurus will be a personal ship of which no plans will be publiced
