Try Evan, try.
It will make the story much easier for you.

or Ed would have sent that to Dennis instead of the brown paper, so it was not ready before the African visit.

Did was not I wrote,

Ed was an inventor no draughtsman, so he let do the job by Top Flite, Ed did give the dimensions of his Taurus (on brown paper) to Top Flite, Top Flite did do detailengineering (and preparing materials?)
It is because of I see 11 points of detail engineering in the fuselage of auction 1 that they (Ed’s gang) did use the Top Flite plans and materials to build the Taurus.
Dennis did the same, also did use this Top Flite plans to build his Taurus.

Look to the drawings Orion and Taurus and you see the style of the Top Flite draughtsman.
Compare the drawing of October 1962 RCM&E and you see the style of RCM&E draft man.
Compare the fuselage of auction 2 (style Ed) and the fuselage of auction 1 (Style Top Flite) and you see the difference the way Ed did built and the way Top Flite did want to let him do.
Look to the Taurus from Les Fruh and see the style of the real Taurus from the “gang”.
And that’s the same as the Taurus from auction2 and from that Taurus there was no drawing only dimensional sketches.

That’s the reason I do make those drawings, but from the first example, the African crate version!
