The Taurus Pusher generated a great deal of interest back in 2009 when we first were talking about it. Those of us who really were deeply involved with this thread back then eventually noticed that...

Well, I have at least 50 questions I could ask...a couple for now:
1) Who led the trend to larger planes?--I would think it was Ed, but I'm not sure.
2) Does he have pictures of the Simla he could...

I'll see that Dieter gets the message. I didn't think you were a fan of "modified" planes. I just visited a guy in Texas with a Crusader from a Eureka kit. Love the cowl, although the plane is...

I see what you're saying...very observant on your part. I assumed it might be Ed with his back turned and didn't think more about it. I made the assumption that ONLY ED would have an Orion at the...

Beautiful Taurus--is that a painted finish? She certainly is a "classic"--probably the most flown R/C design ever.

That is one of the neatest shops I've ever seen.

RE: Ed Kazmirski's Taurus

One thing you'll notice, the Orion in the museum is NOT the same Orion Ed won the first "worlds" with because it has a "trike" gear. My guess is that the "trike" gear plane was later when the need...

RE: Ed Kazmirski's Taurus

The article Gene is referring to is the Champ Chats article which has been referenced in this thread several times. It was good to have my own complete "copy" at home. Thanks Gene.

RE: Ed Kazmirski's Taurus

I believe it's 10.5 lbs. I wanted it to be more like the World Engine stated weight of 9-3/4 lbs, but I believe the covering and paint added too much weight. Ed told me an accident with a...
