RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Gents,
May I present you, Harold the Bolt, first picture!
A short message why people did talk about the pattern program in 1959 and later, Yellow Square, and I think the first steps to the modern “turn around” program, green square.
But what was also interesting, red square, vertical rolls!!!
All from one article about the AMA rules for Multi pattern flying.
April 1962 Ed Kazmirski “Our Mr. K goes to Africa”, picture 2
“Had a light Taurus with me and was able to make clean vertical rolls even o 5000 Foot!
Ed was ready to fly the “turn around” program, already inclusive the vertical rolls, even on 5000 feet. No problem with the good old K & B 45 and his “Light Taurus” (low drag).
B.T.W. This was during the Top Flite promotion trip so he is talking about the “Other than Top Flite Taurus”.
Picture 3 the replica of that “Light Taurus”, ready to fly the important maneuver, not to forget in the test program.
Just to show some Victory Rolls above the Victoria Falls in Rhodesia.
