ORIGINAL: Taurus Flyer
Gents,
We are talking about Classic Pattern Flying,'
I think also we are talking about one of the most important planes of Classic Pattern Flying.
We are talking about details, extra hinges!
I do show the positions on the picture of the location of the extra hinges Ed Kazmirski did make on this wings when he later did use these in Belgium 1963.
He did combine these wings with the fuselage of the first Top Flite preproduction and promotion Taurus.

WHAT "Top Flite preproduction and promotion Taurus".
Do you have any evidence for this, or is this just something you figured MUST have taken place, but can't prove? What about the "facts"....you say you only deal in "facts". There is no real "scientific evidence" for a "preproduction" Taurus" or a "promotion" Taurus is there? You talk about my "stories", but it seems this is a concept of yours that came "out of thin air"
What I am trying to say here is that 45+ years later,
all of us are going to have to make some judgements, or best guesses about what we feel is the most likely course of events. You believe in a "preproduction Taurus" that Ed flew at some point. I believe Ed designed and built his own planes, and that he made modifications to each plane be built...he didn't fly a "preproduction Taurus". Anybody witnessing Ed's flying would never have been able to tell whether it was an exact preproduction Taurus or one of his own...it didn't have to be an exact Top Flite kit.
What actually happened is nearly impossible to tell, and he is no longer here to ask. Only witnesses who knew Ed might be able to tell us for sure. So far after the fact, we all have suppositions.
