Only a detail, but may I remind of our former findings regarding this picture. Evan posted it (#131 p6) and said it was shot at the 1961 US Nats (without specifying the source). We noticed that the model has the new Taurus paint scheme and an Orion wing. Later we found out that Ed had different wings (thickness) already on the Orion. Seems the Taurus wing has the new nose and the strip ailerons, that's all. One source said Ed flew a modified Orion at the 1961 Nats. The development Astro Hog - Orion - Taurus is obvious. And the Orion had 68" wingspan and 690 sqin wing area. So this plane might be the 1961 Nats model.
