BMJ-B-320 Taurus 1/2 Scale
Taurus In January 1963, MAN reported, “…...in 1960 Ed Kazmirski’s Orion
was the best multi offered to date – now the Taurus is the best”. The Taurus
was designed to be a plane that would perform the maneuvers more nearly perfect,
but more important, would be easy to fly. The big difference in the Taurus over
the Orion is the wing section with a 19% thick airfoil, which helps eliminate
tip stall, is not sensitive to slight elevator beeps, is stronger, and as speed
increases the increased drag slows the model for a more consistent airspeed
during maneuvers. Another big change was the use of “strip ailerons”,
coupled with a short nose and long tail moment. The Taurus ½ by Paul Bradley is
a scaled version of the original, is designed for brushless electric power,
includes a steerable nose gear for ground handling, and fly’s like a larger
ship. The Taurus completes the linage of multi channel pattern RC design staring
with the Astro Hog in the 1950’s, to the Orion and Taurus. Model has a wing
span of 36”with and area of 194” sq. Flying weight is around 15 oz. BMJR kit
has 20 laser cut sheets of parts and a complete hardware pack. All you need to
add is covering, motor and RC gear
