Default RE: Orion Questions

Boy, you guys are going to hate me. A couple of years ago I got a Hartman Zeus fuselage. Included with the fuselage was a complete Meinke Taurus wing kit. Here's some photos. The first five photos are the wing kit which is the stardard Taurus wing. The last is a Marvelite Swept Taurus wing. The Marvelite was wrapped with a thin veneer birch plywood. The panels are but glued together and wrapped with glass while the Meinke wing has spars installed before the sheeting is applied.
Mad?? Heck, I'm glad to see that somebody has another wing set from Meinke! Very awesome stuff you've got! After a very long search, earlier this year I finally found a Hartman Zeus fuselage (a MK IV I believe) with a set of drawings. While the quality of the fuselage leaves a lot to be desired, it's still a gem in my eyes and another classic project. Thanks for adding to the thread Mike!
