RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth
Gents,
Classic pattern flying,
When flying an original Taurus or Orion you better mount the elastics in the direction from LE dowel to TE dowel of the wings.
In an inverted loop, the forces of the elastic bands near the LE of the wing to keep the wing on the fuse is much more, so mounting your elastics this way, (see picture 2) there is less change of separation between fuselage and wing.
These modern pilots, picture 1, do show us how NOT to do this.
In this situation, for a while, we do not have attention for the personal protection gloves, visible on this picture (powdered?). Maybe next time.
