RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Gents,
When I take the picture in the future to compare with the crate picture , I want to compare every detail.
This is the reason I spend most of the time by comparing detail pictures during the building.
I only can compare detail pictures when I make them from the original distance but it’s too dark for that in the evening. I do not have enough light for that.
I can show you the process by taking a picture from shorter distance as I show you in picture 1.
The office of the pilot. Picture 1
Important fact of this part of design.
The outside contour of the canopy on the top of the fuselage. Step by step I reconstruct the original outside by comparing the picture and make little changes.
The position of the label in the cockpit and positions of other details
The position of the pilot. The pilot is “on” the top of the fuselage so I did place him a little afterward to get the head on the right position.
Interesting is the marker for the dowel, the triangle piece of wood with the black dash. Compare this with picture 2.
The two green and red long dashes are directions of view, directions of the picture is taken. The green line looks all right, the red line is complete out of the right direction because this picture is taken from a too short distance.
Picture 2 is the part of the crate picture with the pilot’s office.
Picture 3 a “bad quality” picture, to check if the canopy can fit in the contour I redesign. This is no problem. Look at the green line of the contour of the canopy and compare this with picture 4. I experienced that the canopy is tilt backwards, the result is the front is around 38 degrees but also the green line curves to the top of the fuselage in a smooth line.
The green line shows us also that the round shape of the top of the fuselage is all right.
Picture 4 we did see before, to compare with picture 3!
So, for who was interested.
After I redesigned all the details I did show you compare them with the daylight pictures and complete the drawings I will continue with the wings. Covering with silk and dope.
