Cees,

"I want to warn Kingaltair because when you do not know these details you are throwing away HIGH IMPORTANT INFO, without knowing!!! "

Well I don't know that these are all that important of a detail. I remember the standard clunk tank having been used in any number of planes of the time including my contest rudder only "Charger" airplane. I doubt that too many fliers over-thought it to any extent. They just saw it being used successfully and copied it.

"My warning was, to now how to fill the tank!!!!!!!!! "

"Warning" - I again have to wonder about the conversion to English from the Dutch Engineer. Anyway with the three tube clunk tank you could fill it from the overflow vent. If you kept things clean this worked fine for a long time before clogging up the needle valve with junk. You had to be careful and not flood the engine.

With a two tube clunk you always filled from the engine feed line. This also worked OK for an equally long time with the same comments of clogging the needle valve applying. No problem with flooding.

Finally somewhere along the time line fuel line filters were developed stopping the clogging of the needle valve. However I still used the three tube clunk today. Nothing fancy and it still works.

But all of these things were universally used by everyone - nothing specific to the Taurus that I remember. Otherwise other folks would have copied it and mentioned it - alot.

I just looked over the video from the international contest in the wind storm. It is a wonder anyone won! I feel sorry for Jerry Nelson flying that big winged floaty machine he had. It is an indication of how badly everyone was flying that an airplane won that used a constant elevator deflection to do loops.

Happy new year all

Ben

How's the build and flying schedule on the Taurus going??
