RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Construction pictures,
Introduce the modern elevators of the reconstructed Oldest Taurus on Earth.
It is modern to use Carbon in your plane.
These elevators are filled with gaseous carbon, combined with oxygen in a well known combination.
No the real story of these elevators;
The LE of the elevators are made from 3 mm balsa plywood in which I drill the 3 mm hole for the linking.
Drill these between two hardwood parts and the hole is in the centre.
The TE of the elevators are filled with 1 mm plywood to make them sharp in the future.
Two “spacers” and a tip give the elevators rigidity.
The outside of the balsa sheets 2 mm I make some wet before gluing to keep them straight
I glue all the parts together and sandwich them one on the other between hardwood in a frame clamp.
The whole process looks time consuming but these elevators I can give a sharp backside and the weight isn’t more than massive.
Now it is modern the make the TE square, to enlarge the drag, but Ed didnot know I think!
