Gents,

It is true, Duane wrote, it is a product of my theory, but we can talk a lot about it and on the end of time we still are not sure and have nothing.
That’s the reason I make a model. Because I am a model airplane builder.

So, this time my project is a scale model! Scale 1:1, just the original plane was 69/70” span.
On the end of the process I can make a picture and see the differences with the plane in the crate.
My reward will be a nice plane that I can call a Taurus, because all the separate parts are all from Taurusses.
Maybe on one moment in the past all these parts really were a Taurus all together, the Taurus that did make his first flight on Thursday, the twenty-third day of November of 1961. Who knows?

A last word:
There is a remarkable and visible detail on the fuselage on the right side in the crate, and that’s the lower thrust line of the K & B engine on the right.
Second detail is that the fuselage on the right side looks “longer”.
That are my motives, so, no more debate, designing and building, that’s my hobby.

SOME DESIGN WORK, THE WING.
My way of construction with pictures of a wing I did make in the past.
1 Picture of the excel program I do calculate the profiles.
2 A picture of the total sheet to calculate all the details of one profile.
3,4 and 5 Printed profiles, glued on plywood, a picture of the Taurus wing in the past.
For the Wester Taurus I want to use balsa plywood for the ribs so calculation of the weight I have to do now and making examples of a several ribs to weight.
Just for who is interested, and it is what KLXMASTER 14 did write in his post about the Vertico II:
“It is fun and interesting to introduce technologies that did not exist back when this aircraft was originally conceived”
