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

Gents,

I did make a picture to show the fuselage lengths.

Top, Oldest Taurus on Earth, replica of the first contest Taurus of Ed Kazmirski.
Second the Perigee, I did make a straight line of the rudder hinge line to the bottom of the fuselage
Third the Nimbus, also with the rudder hinge line to the bottom of the fuselage.

The picture of the fuselage I did make as good as possible, long distance, in not so good weather conditions, rain.
(look to the Tour the France on TV and you know.)

The three pictures are scaled as good as possible within 1 %.
The wingposition of the Perigee is more to the back, the wing is tapered but has a (nearly?) straight LE.
The wing of the Taurus is tapered.
The length of the Nimbus is more, see the red square.
