Gents, to read after post 432
ORIGINAL: Taurus Flyer
Ed did tell us he did fly his “Taurus” with 50 % of a normal side thrust but, if that was this Top Flite Taurus, the VRCS Taurus see picture 5, the plane would normally have 7 a 8 degrees, the thick blue line?
Where can I see that in the drawings?
We have to think this over but here is something interesting going on!
”Taurus”, not one plane but two!
Pictures so you learn to recognize a Contest Taurus (picture 1) when you are a judge in the future!

I did calculate ther VRCS Taurus side thrust and it is between 3,5 and 4 degrees.
Can somebody measure that on the plane?
When we read "the Champ Chats" Ed tells us, The "Taurus" I am flying!!!!
Ed did tell us the sidethrust of his plane was reduced to about half of what is shown on the plans and this more or less has to be arranged to taste.
Of course you cannot do this with the VRCS Taurus and I already did reduce the adjustment range of the engine mounting plate to 0 - 2 degrees.
In this case Ed did speak about his own original Contest Taurus, the Oldest Taurus on Earth with adjustable side thrust.
I did make a picture: left VRCS Top Flite Taurus with fixed 3,5 a 4 degrees sidethrust, right my own old Top Flite Taurus with also fixed 1,5 degrees sidethrust.

(Yes, yes, the "Taurus" I am flying!!!!)
