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

ORIGINAL: pimmnz

Of course, had you looked at your Orion plan, which you must have in order to modify you own version, then you would have seen that the engine drawn is called out as the K&B .45 R/C. We were wondering why you even needed to ask...?
Evan.
pimmnz,

I only can use real facts!

There was a long period I thought it also could be a K & B 45 with Bramco drossel (8/27/2008).

When an subject does get my attention, I am going to look for “hard” data at least 2 but I like more.
We all know drawings/plans always are made for commercial reasons (think about the Frank Myers plans), the pilots did not use drawings themselves just I do not. Some detailed sketches will do to make a contest plane because for months you are changing too many things.

Plans we find these days always can be changed with later motordata.
My planes I did build all from "own plans", the basics were copy's in "inches" and of smaller dimensions. For that look to the first pictures I did show of the Orion plans in Ed Kazmirski's Taurus thread.
Because I did make my own plans I also do know any detail.

For that I need original basic data for my both Taurusses because they were both “first examples”

For example, the original name on the preproduction Top Flite Taurus Ed did use in 1962!
This Taurus is older than all the later Top Flite “kit” or “plan” Taurusses.
We never did see the original basic sketches/plans/drawings of this plane, only the plans we see later in the MAN magazine and Top Flite kit.

For five years it is my goal to make my plane as original as possible, read my messeges of 2004, in the Top Flite Taurus thread!
After I did ask Charles Winter the photo to reconstruct the name, what did happen?

Read your own post 1607 back and that from Kingaltair 1611 in the Ed Kazmirski’s Taurus thread on, page 65.

You both did not understand that I was searching for the original name of the Top Flite preproduction Taurus Ed did fly in 1962.
Why I do this all?
I do this, so it is possible to make a second crate picture when that’s needed in the furure.
My thread for that is not a normal build thread, always important to know.
