But Duane, do you know what you are saying??
It is 0:18 midnight. I am on the other side of the world.

Ed did say he would have shortened the fuse of the kit-Taurus, and you can see a picture of this variant, yesterday or the day before.
But we are talking about the orginals.
Chuck did say Ed did not left anything behind, he did modify the orginal fuselage, and why not. He reused the fuselage.
Replace your mind in that of Ed's. 3d place in Belgium. He did not know that we would find the old Taurus so valuable.
He was thinking of the Sim-la so he used the B version to test his mod's but he never shortened it. I never tell you that!!!!! That's why I used the word orginal centresection

For all those people who where interested in the Taurus he would have tought what's possible, shorten the fuse with 2inch, let's try.
For all the others, the future was the Sim-la.
And this all was happening a long time after he was in Belgium!!!! So the Taurussus in the cave have (nearly) the same lenght of course!!!
