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


Perigee

If someone can show me a picture of the Nimbus of Tom Brett and can tell the design period of the Perigee, maybe we can conclude the swept back fin and rudder of the Perigee is a first Taurus “look like” situation!
We know Tom and Ed did fly on same airfields sometimes (Detroit Invitationals!)

BTW, the TE of the rudder is a detail we never know of the fuselage of the Taurus in the crate, Ed’s first contest Taurus, because it is not visible on the crate picture.
I will make a photo animation of an possible rudder TE if Tom Brett could have seen the Taurus in the past before he did design the Perigee.
When this story fits? Hmmmmmm!
Maybe in that situation Harry Brooks have had met Ed Kazmirski during the Internats of 1962 in Great Britain, who knows?.

So you think the Taurus look anything like the Perigee.....that is a real stretch.

You are digging yourself a bigger hole.
