My name is John Burns. I'm living in Switzerland. This is a first message, so please forgive any lack of protocol.

Between 1960 and 1970, I was a very active and keen R/C Aeromodeler. I loved the sport.
One of the most satisfying models I build and flew was the Topflite Taurus.
If I remember, it was a design of Ed Kazmersky who was world champion.

Now after many years away from aeromodeling, I suddenly have an attack of nostalgia and would like to get back to R/C flying, and in particular build the TAURUS again.

So I have spent the most part of this week on the Web searching for anything on the Taurus and anything on Kazmersky. I have tried to find Taurus kits for sale, or someone who is re-kitting the aircraft. I've tried to find reference to the world aerobatic championship in which Kazmersky was competing.

All I have is a BIG ZERO.

I am totally blown away. It is as if a total section of history has just vanished. And with it, in a weird way, my youth.

Can anybody please help.
Maybe to locate a kit.
Or locate a re-kitter.
Maybe some plans.
Anything???

Thanks in advance. JOHN
