Heck Cees, I've been flying my Taurus for the last 12 years with an LA.46. I have no idea how you could balance one without lots of weight in the tail with any thing bigger/heavier. The airplane certainly does not need any more power than that. The standard Top Flite kit has the same dihedral that the original Taurus had, and the same as the models in the box, they had to be identical, otherwise the wing of one wouldn't have fitted the fuselage of the other... Not only that, but we have eyewitness statements that the two were identical. Both of them would have had hand bent U/C's too, as there was no kit/factory bent Taurus legs to be had at that time. Les Fruh was making steerable nose legs, and Ed likely used two of them simply because they were available. There is no suggestion anywhere that the wing thickness or dihedral was any different on the W/C model from any other Taurus, and if it was one, or a combination of either of the two African models, couldn't be anything but 'standard'.
Evan.
