RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
<font size="2">
Gents,</p>
As we look at the old pictures, the first transformation for the Oldest Taurus on Earth does show us the Les Fruh Taurus, the first transformation of the Taurus of the crate after Ed did came back from his trip to Africa.</p>
Waiting for pictures I am thinking of starting my next project, designing and making that Les Fruh Taurus again.</p>
Flying the original MAN Taurus of Ed kazmirski and Orion (sport) as a tribute to Ed for more than 500 flight together now I think it is a good idea to make a Les Fruh Taurus also. They both did work to make the Taurus a topper.</p>
Designing?</p>
It is the "longer" Oldest taurus on Earth, with Taurus wings with straigth TE and sheeted airfolded stab.</p>
Because of the straight TE and the longer fuse it would not be a problem to find, with a few calculations, the right position of the CG with a 0.60 engine.</p>
The detailengineering is important for mounting that "big" engine in that "little" place and get the fuel in the plane.</p>
My fuel controllers I will use to solve the problem for me when I use a "long " tank in that narrow fuselage.</p>
A Simla is really to big for me to transport.</p>
