RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Gents
Control measurements with Italian equipment.
As I often said, the Taurus is “as old as the way to Rome”. Also we know the last engine was Italian.
So, why not use Italian equipment to do another check of the drawing.
PIZZA box cover marker masking plate laser check.
I did perforate the characteristic points in the Pizza box cover (picture 1) and with the laser beam check the characteristic points of the drawing. With this measurement it is also possible to measure the angle of the side view of the fuselage and de angle the picture is taken.
This is a final check before making the last corrections on the drawing.
Pictures and values.
Picture 2, measurement, Pizza Box Cover distance to the laser 1,14 meter. Beam is an animation!!!!
Picture 3, laser beam support, my little Emco lathe. Beam is an animation!!!!
Distance from the Pizza Box Cover to the drawing, CG of the Taurus, 1,35 m
Distance from the beam to the ground 28 cm so 6,5 degrees side view of the fuselage in the crate.
Total distance the picture is taken to the CG of the fuselage on the right side in the crate, 2,49 m.
The angle the picture is taken in the past is 38 degrees, at point of CG of the right side Taurus.
Last picture are real action pictures. The beam illuminates the “markers” through the PBC.
(Pizza Box Cover)
Results are oké, and there is no noticeable difference with the last method with the yarn, only we can see the locations are illuminated with this method.
So I can start building the Wester Taurus after the last corrections of the drawing.
