Gents,

For some reason the Oldest Taurus on Earth is called a “pencil with wings” when compare with the modern aerobatic planes.

Immediately I did have to think about the period we discovered the later Simla Of Ed Kazmirski was a 150 % copy of the Oldest Taurus on Earth.
Dimensions were indeed correct, only the Simla has some more swept back wing. Also it was a shoulder wing with side mounted engine.

I did a photo shopping in the past to know how the Oldest Taurus on Earth would look like with a side mounted engine.
The picture again, because I think some members will show up in my thread.

ONLY THE SIDEMOUNTED ENGINE AND THE STRETCHED CANOPY ARE PHOTOSHOPPED.

This discovery also did give me the definitive information the rudder could have been had somee more surface, that wasn't visible on the crate picture.

Oh, And about that post of me, with the “blimp’, believe me, that statement in that first post in that thread is wrong because I was forced to visualize the plane just as anybody else and that picture was really there in my mind after 2 seconds. Of course I will do this never again!!

I avoid these problems by showing my pictures, procedures, plans etc, because people not always are able to visualize these complex matters in the right direction and that was also a reason not to hesitate to post.

"The Pencil with wings".
