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

Gents,
I still did have one study picture.

While reconstructing my Oldest Taurus on Earth I want to position of de propeller of my engine on the same position as the original prototype, contest Taurus of Ed Kazmirski, but my engine was a little longer (Webra).

To compare with the Les Fruh Taurus we can see this Taurus is also designed for the K & B 45 RC.
On the picture this plane is equipped with probably a VECO 45 RC, and for that we see the engine in a forward position. The carburetor and front ball bearing are visible.

All the other dashes, green and blue are to show and how I measure the distances to make my new drawings of the Les Fruh Taurus.

Most important of all the pictures? The thrust line has the same position and that’s the important part of detailing the plans.

Cees
