Just finished an electric conversion/restoration of a Taurus that was started in the mid to late 60's and never finished . Was kept in storage for over 40 years. Maidened today and it was great. Went with the black and white scheme I saw on the magazine cover at the 30 second mark on your vid just . thanks for posting this vid
amazing all these years that was designed and still can compete with modern models, very smooth flier. could still be a excellent aerobatic trainer. they should re kit the taurus again. glad that this model still lives ,reminds what modellers where i how should be. not like today in this ARTF world
This is exactly what I said…it’s Ed Kazmirski’s personal and final (most advanced), version of his Taurus built around 1964-‘65. The plane has a mid-fuselage symmetrical wing-though Ed flew the Simla during the same time period, this isn’t it. The Simla is much larger at 102 inches. Our team recreated Ed’s Simla in 2010. I saw Ed fly the plane at the Detroit Invitational that year. I was 14. The wingspan is the same as a Taurus, but the design is more sleek. Can’t figure out how to ad a photo.
Another TRUE pattern plane.
BEAUTIFUL

I think that is not a Taurus, but Kaz's Simla. Larger, more swept wing, larger tail moment.
