To All,

I to am an enthusiast for vintage pattern planes. I have already begun to build a "Taurus" from plans. I intend to finish it same scheme as the original. The build so far seems realtively easy. I have the article from 1963 Model airplane News but it does lack in much build information. The real question I had was about the down thrust and right off set. Not knowing any better I followed the plans for both settings. My original thought was to power it with an OS .50sx since it had a rather large thick wing. However, I fell for full nostalga and will install a Veco .45 just like the original. I bouhgt it from a RCU member. If you folks have any helpful suggestions for me please feel free to let me know.
I will say that the fuselage construction though simple, has some unique build methods that don't show themselves to easily. So, adjustments had to be made to follow the plans. I hate suprises that make me re-do work.
