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

Andy, that plane?

After the first flights of that plane Ed did write in his notebook: FLOP.
People thought it was the name but it stands for:


Faultless Lack Of Performance.

After Ed deleted the valuable parts as, canopy, pilot, gear and maybe the top of the fuselage the plane went “Flop” in the astray.

BTW the wings are two times doped and sanded and the locations for aileron servo and airspeed transmitter are prepared so time to cover with silk.
The hoses for the airspeed transmitter I can replace also after the wing is covered and I will use thinner hoses in the future.
