Taurus flyer,

I just receive the plans to build a Ed Kazmirski "Taurus". A question I have for you is: The original Taurus was equipped with a .45 engine (Veco I believe) you have mentioned yours has a ,61. Does it need all that power from a .61? Would a .46 be enough?
I have both, I was just wondering why you selected a .61.

Your Taurus looks great. I plan to finish mine same as the original also.

What is/was reason for the brakes on the landing gear? I saw them on the plans and could not figure why they would be needed.
