Excellent! What powerplant will you use?
Right now, I plan on using a NIB OS 55AX. I've thought long and hard about this. To try and find a period correct Veco that's in good running shape would be very costly, and then there's the muffler issue. Using a modern engine eliminates all of these issues and you have a reliable powerplant. But I am open to ideas.
Free Bird,
"warmer days" is surely subjective. Warmer to me is above 70 here in South Carolina. :-) I was wearing shorts and a golf shirt on Christmas day. It was unusually warm...in the 60's. Tonight it will be in the low 20's. Looking forward to watching the build progress.
Thanks

It's going to be quite a while before we get those temps up here
] I'd settle for upper 30's, I can deal with that.
What a find! Your wife gets major points for listening.
The kit looks to be in excellent shape. I'm amazed that the paper is not even yellowed.
Will you be building the "modified for proportional control" version?

Yea, the wife is a keeper! She really got me good with this one. I saw the box wrapped under the tree and knew it was a kit, but I had no idea it was a Taurus.
For this effort I'll be building the "standard" Taurus, if there is such a thing. The long Taurus thread shows that there were a few different versions. I hope that Jeff P. (Home & Hobby Solutions) hurries up and releases the swept wing version of the Taurus, which I gather is the same as the "modified for proportional control" version.
