Gents,

Hanna wanted a better, scaled engine to do the measurements of the position, side and down thrust, etc.

So, here it is, the (Hanna CAT CAM) K & B 45 RC first example, sun power to RPM transformer, our “dummy” of the engine that was “shown” on all the Taurus plans.
The dimensions of the engine that are important for measurements are “scaled”, the less important are “look alike”.

K & B first did make the Orion famous in 1960 and later the Taurus in 1961 and 1962.
The 45 RC engine was still used by four European members during the World Championships 1963 in Genk Belgium.
One of them flew with a Taurus, I did mentioned him before, Mister Miliani from Italy, with his enlarged rudder, placed 38 of the 39 competitors.
The other two Italian members were placed 19 (Mister Corghi) and 26 (Mister Mantelli) using the ST 56.

More to come.
