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

Gents,

Because I do find a dihedral of about 7 degrees, I did take a look in the drawings of the Orion.

3 1/8 inch under each wingtips, is 80 mm. see picture 1.

When I compare this with the dihedral of the Wester Taurus this will be nearly the same as the Orion.
Of course we could expect this from Ed. This was a value to start without risks.

The later Top Flite Taurus dihedral is 2 ¼ “, this is 56 mm under the wingtips.

Next [picture, picture 2 , the label/header of the drawing of December 1961, shown in the Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus thread post 713 page 29.see picture 2
I have a question, can somebody look on this drawing and tell me what is the dihedral?
Of course it is possible that the dihedral already is reduced on this drawing, but I think it is interesting to know also for my time schedule and the second wing in the crate.

To show you how this looks like, 7 degrees dihedral, I did make a picture on a sunny moment(in the shadow) yesterday.

Picture 4, Hanna of course interested, see loves birds .
