Thanks for reply,

I will study eveything you write carefully and will respond soon.
I will built the Taurus and see what could ever be the wing postion.
The green line I think is too far backward, I already did notice that, but the orginal wing was more backwart then the wing of auction 2 on this moment.
Even the wing with straight trailing edge the leading edge was more forward, see the black and white sideview.
Before I did show the drawing with the green line I already did make several sketches with dimensions, so I react with I know the distance. may be to soon?

The green line gives me the idea that there was a bulkhead there, and the fuselage does not have plywood doublers I think , maybe the fuselage ever did fly with an Orion wing with extra bulkhead on that position.

What do you mean with this? I do not understand this.
Do you think it was yes or no in Africa?

I could even believe it was in Africa because it looks rather similar to the other fuse. (You know how hard it was for us to notice all the fine details.)

When I built the plane it has to be balanced without extra weight, because Ed would not used that either, thats why we see all that modifications on the centresection I think.
Servo's I allways mount in length direction, is better.

Ad in text 1:

It is not strange these extra strips on the saddles.
This is an orginal Taurus fuselage, Ed did not have drawings I think, only sketches.
After flying he could have changed the angle of the wing to trim the plane. That he has to do because the stab is fixed.
I think this is a better way to reduce the angle between wing and stab, because the downthrust of the motor.
Change the wing angle untill you have zero position of the elevator with de speed you want.

I start with a wingposition as the carrierplane, because Ed did change the plane in one modification, reeds to proportional, silk covered to sheeted stab and normal wing to wing with straight TE. If Ed did his homework well, he could use the centresection of the fuselage without modifications. It is also possible that he removed a bulkhead because of the volume of the proportional radio, I already thought.
