ORIGINAL: Taurus Flyer
Gents,
Designing an airplane is as interesting as designing a bicycle.
Working with the wind gradient and searching for the best solution for that, we have also to look for the best brakes and ??
Indeed, two brakes on the nose wheel of my own design recumbent bicycle.
Even with more weight on the main (back) wheel it is saver to make the brakes on the nose wheel.
The ground pressure of the nose wheel is much more on the moment I use the brakes.
What will the Oldest Taurus on Earth do with that nose wheel brake? Also make a “nose over” as I can do, controlled, with my recumbent?
We will see in the future when I will test fly (or must I say test brake?) the Oldest Taurus on Earth.
Cees
how do you get your taurus to the flying field with a bicycle? tow it? at least the taurus has brakes. [X(] i prefer to carry mine in something a little more roomy. see below.
