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

Andy,

Some extra info,

The stab of the Orion and Taurus both are very strong and rigid.

I use silk and dope covering and also for that reason vibrations and other “activities” give problems near the TE of the stab near the root. For a period I use this kind of repair before new mounting the complete stab again (and again and agian).
To keep the stab on the fuse, also in bad times, I use the double safety mounting for my new Taurus.
We see on the drawing of the Orion Ed did nearly the same with the stab of the Orion, the LE is beneath the top deck, filler block. The Taurus does not have any second safety provision on the drawing.

Problems I discovered after about around 300 flights of the Taurus and 150 of the Orion, see the pictures.

I can read the 1962 rules easy, but use the button on the picture right under corner ,see picture 4, to enlarge the picture on the screen.
Are you “internetting” (nice language, easy to translate!) with a mobile telephone?
If you keep problems give me a sign.
