Again very interesting, Cees, but also rather confusing. I read just these snippets from the articles only a few days ago because I needed to set up / adjust the virtual Taurus models. It turned out that the RCM&E plan specifies engine right/down thrust as 4.5/2.5, whereas the MAN plan specifies 2.25/2.5 degrees (there are no figures in the articles, only in the plans). So what Ed says could be consistent, just as well as his statement that his model has a 1" longer tail cone. The really annoying thing is that the MAN plan shows a 1" longer tail cone than the RCM&E plan, while Ed's real contest model at the time is even another 1" longer. So the VRCS Taurus is not standard Top Flite in tail cone length, but all else is standard. Can you explain that?
