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

Gents,

Some update pictures, the forecastle is finished.

I did change the design of the adaptor plate.
The mounting holes of my Webra 6 ccm (40) engine are 3 mm , 1/8 “ and I cannot combine these with a 10 cc engine.
BTW I think a 10 cc 0.60 is always too much power and with a too little tank in this plane

I still have a MVVS 45, 7,5 cc and the positions of these mountingholes are the same as the Webra, but 4 mm instead of 3.
So I decide to mount the adaptor plate with four separate bolts, glued in the bearers and not combine one of these polts with the engine screws.

The engines I can mount on the plate, with 3 (webra) of 4 mm (MVVS). On separate plates.
And of course the plates are adjustable in sidethrust and downthrust.

The pictures, fuse, only the bottom of the tail to sheet, front view and engine room.
To make you happy I did give the pivot points of the nosegear a little white paint.

Cees
