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

Gents,

I did make one extra picture to make the story complete.

An impression when the Orion flies inverted with the same speed as during normal flight showed in the picture (and of course also in the outside looping!).

The high angle of attack is the result of the asymmetrical airfoil and the incidence of 2,39 degrees of the mounting of the wing in the fuse..
This high angle the plane needs to get the proper lift to fly!
It is clear that the fuselage of this 100 % taildragger generates a lot of drag in this position.(Fusedragger?)

Ed did see it right, time for the Taurus to try to keep his position as the champion in the ranking of the pilots.
