Rocketman, and gents

I am “retired” pattern flyer but still have a pattern plane.
Taurus, scratch.

Engine: MVVS or OS Max 61 FX. (one spare)
Wingspan: 70”
Weight: 8,8 lb
Brakes on the main wheels
Covering: Silk and dope
Battery: one pack for radio equipment, on pack for electronics
Radio :Multiplex transmitter/receiver, Graupner servo’s
Electronics: airspeed controller (cruise control), data logger, engine temp measurement, fluel level measurement, landing light, fuel tank pressure controller, fuel controller (like Cline), calculating rudder mixer (no differential).

When flying with active cruise control the trottle stick is speed setpoint stick.

Pictures are made without controllers, exhaust and pitot tube.

I am rebuilding after maintenance and painting the Taurus in original Top Flite scheme 1962.
The name "Taurus" picture 1 and 2 is the reconstruction of the characters Ed Kazmirski did have on his Top Flite Taurus during promotion 1962/1963.
Plane is 5 years old, about 350 flights.

Third picture before maintenance a few years ago.

Quality ensurance cat: Hanna
