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

Gents,

A picture with the cygnet-modification (picture animation) to prevent the horizontal stabilizer with fin and rudder, starts his own business.

See post 1200 page 48, Ed Kazmirski’sTaurus.

ORIGINAL: cygnet

Lots of talk about the spin I flew a Taurus for many years in competition and never had a problem with the spin or the snap, as a matter of fact you have to be careful when doing snaps the stab has very little gluing area and I blew the tail right off mine, you had to see what happen next, the whole tail was hanging on by the rudder clevis, the old Taurus just weather viened and I cut the power and she came down like a heilcopter, put the tail back on that night and was flying the next day, unreal plane. If it won't spin move the CG back until it does, one other thing with the CG back a little it will land just about hands off, if you are brave enough it will land hands off but thats another story.
Hope you don't mind I did copy your post cygnet!?

For more information see page 11 post 267 and 269 of this thread.
