RE: Barn Find! - Taurus...
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Well I got it stripped. The covering was white cloth with some type of plastic trim (blue and red). It came off very easy, only took about 30 minutes. It is kit built, looks like Ambroid and epoxy. Here’s the good and the bad.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Good: Absolutely NO crash damage or previous repair. Everything is straight as an arrow. Only minor hanger rash. Wing mount dowels look great. Vintage wheels might be reusable.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Bad: Mold and lots of it. Engine mount area is really buger’d-up (too many engine changes?). Kit was “built” okay but not “crafted”. Barely sanded, not sealed, not much filler. No fillet’s around stabs. MLG blocks split and loose. Easy replacement, the ribs are not damaged.</div>
