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

Gents,

We all know Ed was in Bern in 1960 in Switserland with his Orion and became World Champion!.
The Orion was one of the older planes from Ed together with the later “Flop”.

That Ed was influenced by this visit maybe we later see because of the use of the Italian Super Tigre in his Taurus in 1964..
I think also the use of his High Tech Cuckoo Clock Double Elevator Pushrod is from this period so we use also this detail again in the rebuild of the Oldest Taurus on Earth.

I show you the picture.

Second picture the benchvice bend device.
I bend the 3 mm (1/8) piano wire on an old benchvice which I did modify with a grinding wheel to bend the pianowire cold with a radius.
I also bend the landing gear (1/6) with radius on this benchvice.
Picture of the High Tech Cuckoo Clock Double Elevator Pushrod is for in the archive, when the system is build in the fuselage we cannot see the details anymore.

Cees
