No, and 7 psi is not even 0.5 bar. But (1) I wonder how Ed put the nipple into the underside of the shaft housing and (2) how he got the left-hand crankshaft. On the Veco 45, there is no such swelling in the cast part like on my OS 19. I think Ed did it himself in his machine shop, and for him it was easier to make a new crankshaft than a left-hand propeller. (3) Did you read the paragraph about Ed making Nylon parts in the interview I posted the link to?
BTW, (4)I wonder if the ribs in the baby bottle were really able to stand the pressure. (5)Why not simply a round bottle, or even a bubble tank?
Where is an answer? I see only riddles again, Mr. F. U. Kilroy!
UStik,
Question 1; This question you did generate yourself, has nothing to do with the Ed Kazmirski Taurus. The pressure was 7 psi so the connection was in the backplate!
Question 2; This question you did generate yourself, has nothing to do with the Ed Kazmirski's Taurus. How about pusher props? Look post 43 page 2 from Neilrether, in the thread Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus, the movie from Beldium, after you do see Fly Ed.
Question 3; No comment.
Question 4; This question you did generate yourself, has nothing to do with the Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus, why do you think Ed did use a pressurized fueltank in the Taurus?
Question 5; We did read Post 224 page 9, which plane, which engine and which tank ?
Found on a C/L newsgroup.

Just a couple comments: First, about 20 years ago, I competed in one of the last Chicago Model Masters C/L events, held at Kickapoo Woods, near Riverdale, Illinois. Toward the end of the event, someone mentioned that Ed Kazmirski was flying in the adjacent R/C field.
Now, Ed hadn't been too active flying R/C, since proportional gear came out. He claimed he could never get used to it, and preferred the old reed transmitters.
I walked over, and he was flying a Taurus pattern ship with a venerable K&B 45 engine, but with a whale of a baseball-bat thick wing. Between flights, he commented that he was experimenting with a 33% wing thickness!
I began to spout Carl Goldberg's teachings, of which he was well aware. He explained that he wanted to try a setup with LOTS of drag, to slow down the airplane, especially in nose-down maneuvers....
