Default RE: Top Flite Taurus

To Carson: Nice looking Taurus. I can just imagine how well it flies with a modern day radio. Mine all flew on reeds- and that was challenging. Think I will blow up the design for a gasoline engine and proportional radio. About time to build something other than scale, and that should make for one great airplane.

To John: Sorry - have no work with sparkers and throttle control. I have tried to run some of the old engines on the gas/oil mixtures we use today, but it doesn't work - they get too hot. I guess the old engines need a lot more lubricant. Anyway, without good throttle control they are useless.
