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

Cees,
Thanks for getting back to me. I now understand what you are doing. I have the Top Flite kit and you are reconstructing the original Kazmirski model, the prototype, and they are different. The wood for my kit has been in the box since 1963. Should I be concerned about whether or not the wood will bond together when I glue? Is there anything that the composition of the wood suffers or loses because of its age, such as loss of moisture? I also have an extra wing kit for my Taurus so I am going to build one with monokote covering and the other with silkspan and paint. Kenn.
