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

Yes Cees, but Ed modified 'his' Taurus to be 1" longer than the original version. Ed's modified Taurus won the 1962 US Nats, went to Africa and came 3rd in Belgium 1963 World Champs. It's on the cover of the Jan 1963 MAN and is the MAN plan and Top Flite kit version. Old Faithful. The October 1962 RCM&E plan was done from the original blueprints and shows the shorter fuselage which Ed went back to when proportional came along and the longer moment wasn't needed for smooth control.
