Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

UStik,

The points of the summery are my points of view, way of thinking or opinions, we can discus about it in the future if we want.

Only:
The strip ailerons, Ed preferred because the wing was lighter and easier to built. You can read this in the other thread.

The picture of the wing I show is from 4-5 years back when I build the Taurus.
BTW ribs from plywood! Spruce spars! That’s a freight aircraft no contest plane!
So you did not miss anything I always use a D tube for several reasons.

Also in the Orion, 4,5 kg!

And the wing structures, this can be interesting when designing the wings of the Wester Taurus. It will be the first time I will use balsa spars, what about that!
