Gents,

The painter.

To paint the silk covered wings and stab I spray a very thin first layer of primer on the surfaces, see picture 1.
I check the quality of the layer with a lamp, backlight, see picture 2.
Second color will be the white color. Then red and black.

Picture 3 of my (MAN, Top Flite copy) AMA15204 Taurus wing as example after painting with one layer primer and one layer color (red).

More to come about the painting.

Speaking about

the wings and the threaded hinges

of the ailerons.

Picture 4 shows us a part of the crate picture, the hinges.
The ailerons of the Oldest Taurus on Earth wing were mounted with two threaded hinges on the wings W7/8 W11/12. The third hinge is near W2 the root (or pivot?). Characteristic for the Oldest Taurus wing.
On the Wester Taurus I will use the same mounting positions.

The later 1962 standard Taurus did get a first modification for the aileron hinges and did have 4 hinges divided over the TE of the wing, so the first isn’t near the root but near W3. See the picture 5 Michaelj2k did make.

We can read that Ed did fly a long time with the old way of mounting the ailerons. He still did fly in Rhodesia with the three hinges each wing.
I will experience what happens after a period of flying. Maybe when some play appears there will be flutter on the ailerons and I also have to add the hinges, the TE of the wing is prepared for that.

More to come about the Wester Taurus.
