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


ORIGINAL: AndyKunz

Cees,The photo with the lines and the two fuses together: The area of the fin of the right model appears to be a bit more than the area of the left model. It appears (one cannot tell anything decisively at this angle) that the model on the right has the fin LE at the base much farther forward than the left model. If I had to guess at a dimension, I would say that it's probably about the same distance forward as the elevator chord. The model on the right appears to have a smaller radius for the change from the top of the fuselage to the LE of the fin. It also appears that the model on the left has a slightly wider chord at the tip than the model on the right.Did I state that clearly enough or do I need to draw a picture? I don't have a scanner at my desk here.Andy
