RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Andy, hello.
It isn’t as complicated as you think, only you have to be an inventor and less a modeler.
Reconstruction of history you have to do in steps, and make no mistakes.
Look in the article “Our Mr. K goes to Africa”.
The front page you can find in the thread : Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus. Post 462 Page 19
On the front page you read: and in turn the sponsor to be allowed advertising privileges.
In one of the other posts ( 468 same page) you can read : The trip throughout Africa to arrange with Top Flite.
What does these messages mean.
It means you only must work with the personal pictures from Ed and Les and other persons. A snap shot is better than ten pictures from a magazine I did tell before!
Every article about the Taurus can be from Top Flite , MAN, Veco so you must read it 10 times and remember there is maybe, not direct visible, information to use but be alert. (adjustable side thrust, restriction in the carburetor, personal ship!!!).
Always remember they want you do believe the Top Flite Taurus and the Veco were the best? It is possible they did pay for that.
With my schedule I nearly can say when VECO became a sponsor!
So, when you have give every fact you know a qualification number than you start order the facts in a schedule to check what can be true and what not.
Every new fact I discover I make my schedule better with more details.
Sometimes I have to enlarge time periods to fill in the facts, to make place in the schedule.
Last action every time again is looking for real times but that isn’t so important as the sequence.
Now I am in the situation my schedule is nearly complete but nobody believes me anymore so I did show myself, advertising works. But that is not new for me.
If you find it interesting I can tell you more how to arrange the Taurus Construction and Flying Schedule but I think this will do for a moment.
Next time the sanding, with a picture of my special tool in this post to show me the most forward point of the LE of the wing. Dark dashes I can make on the LE in different AOA by fix the wing set upside down on the floor. Still have to make the 5 templates.
Oh BTW Rembrandt is helping me this time.
