RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Cees, are you ignoring my questions? Do you really think people don't build models, especially prototypes, from sketches?
I spent this morning going through my collection (several large boxes of rolled plans) as I am having them scanned for posterity. In the process I found quite a few of my old designs and some from a friend which are little more than "napkin" sketches. One is even on brown paper, and was used as the basis for a published plan in Flying Models. I found another which, though on vellum, may not scan well because the pencil does not provide good contrast, yet there's a successfully-flown model built from those plans hanging in my garage.
I think that you do not give builders credit.
And I hope you fix the tail on your World's-Almost-Taurus so it looks more like a real Taurus.
