WOW, what a thread. I have spent the last few days reading this thread and find that I am the luckiest person in the world to have so many Taurus (5 and parts) and have access to many more of my Fathers ( maybe another 7 or 8). The question is, should I fly these planes or preserve them forever. I had no idea that the Taurus was still of interest. I will drive to talk to my Dad tomorrow and let him know the Taurus is still alive...he will be so excited as this was his favorite plane. He is 82 now and getting forgetfull now but I will try to get the story from him as to how him and his friend Carl Beuhler from Chicago, got plans from Ed Kazmurski and set off on a mission to build so many Tauruses. I had Polio as a child my Father would take me to Chicago every 6 months for operations and checkups, and on these trips he would stop at Al's Hobby Shop in Chicago while I was in the hospitol and there he met some of his modeling friends. It was on one of these trips that Ed and my Father met.
I am sorry if this is a little off topic but I suspect that there may be some interesting information about Ed and the Taurus following my visit with my father.
