I picked up an Impact still in the box a few years ago for $650, great deal and I still love it today! The Genesis 3D flys like a pattern with oversized surfaces, way more money and not as fun as the Impact...

Taurus flyer,
I just receive the plans to build a Ed Kazmirski "Taurus". A question I have for you is: The original Taurus was equipped with a .45 engine (Veco I believe) you have mentioned yours has a ,61. Does it need all that power from a .61? Would a .46 be enough?
I have both, I was just wondering why you selected a .61.
Your Taurus looks great. I plan to finish mine same as the original also.
What is/was reason for the brakes on the landing gear? I saw them on the plans and could not figure why they would be needed.

Shown here is the first production Zephyr from the Elation Models Products stable. Some may remember the prototype pictured here earlier in the year. The one here was built for FAI pilot Pete Scoles who took 3rd place in the FAI (P only) competition at the recent UK National Championships. After having engine cuts for the first three rounds in Advanced, yours truly just missed out on 3rd place by 17.5 points. However, I did manage to secure my second set of promotion points so it's Masters for me next year.

Shipping across the atlantic might be steep.

This might just be Ryan's plane for 2010... and it's a Killer! Instead of me asking him to help build mine before a Worlds or Nats, I can finally say I helped him with his plane...lol

Nice job Glen.
It's fun to watch that ever evolving Glen Watson color scheme. Quite different that a few years back but still clearly the GW look!
