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

Gents,

Often is told by other members: “How can you be so sure of the facts?”
I give an example!

On page 1 : “Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus” with a picture of Ed Kazmirski with his Orion sometimes before we can read:

Pimmnz, Post 17 of Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus page 1, 6/27/2008

Won't be a K&B, too early for that. It's Ed and his Orion, of course, probably a Veco .35/45 and it looks like one of the Orions he took to the 1960 worlds.

I did read “of course, probably a Veco 0.35/45”, and did not know the K & B.
So on the moment before I did tell, in the Crate of Africa on the right side a K & B is visible, I did have to check!
I did find this post!, from Jim Messer, “Help Identifying Old Bipe” - 8/30/2003 1:20 AM

Flicka5 has posted my picture above with my deBolt Custom Bipe, built in 1958. Back then the biggest R/C engine available was the K&B green head .45, and that was in mine. However, the airplane did not fly very well on that engine so I scrapped the wings and built two new wings with a flat bottom airfoil, and then it flew really good. Here is a front-on photo that shows the flat bottom wings. This was 1961.

When I did see this, it was the prove all the facts told by pimmnz I probably could give a qualification number “0” in the list of my facts. And indeed nearly all his input did follow this way, reason: disturbing my thread!
So when I do read these:

Do you have any evidence for this, or is this just something you figured MUST have taken place, but can't prove?
Then again my answer is: All my facts are double checked but I do not tell them anymore to protect them!
Most Eyewitness accounts I also do not believe because they were never proved after all these months of working, NOT REAL, and after the first presentation were changed more times! Also of these changes I do know the reasons and facts.
