Cees, I'm glad you came to kind of an evolution theory for the Taurus. I understand Ed modified the fuse and the vertical tail of the Orion, but in several steps. The longer fuselage obviously came later, if your theory is correct. We already have a backup to your measurement by comparing the distance between canopy and blue stripe on the fuselage top (my comment in [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=7983415]post #775[/link] on page 31 and crate picture in [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=7896320]post #622[/link] on page 25). I have to admit that I had confused left with right fuselage in the first place, but the text has been corrected.

By the way, great to see another Emco Unimat. My father bought one when I was 15 or so and I made articulated joints for rudder linkages and tailwheel assemblies with it. Wonder what you use it for, except as a stand.
