Taylor-Monoplane

[RYoung]

Hi Nev, do you know whether it is flying or still under construction? I stopped off there on the way to Avalon this year for coffee, fuel and a bacon and egg sandwich. If I’d known it was there I’d probably have missed my landing slot at Avalon. I’m always up for an excuse to head off on a mission.

Good evening gentlemen,

I think that I make builder number 3 in the world of Taylor Monoplanes. ...

My friend, John Biggs, built his in the '70s. I visited the Taylor family in the UK back then.

R.Young, It was close to flying if my memory serves me correctly. I recall thinking the tail could be bigger.  Nev

With spars and undercarriage, it doesn’t fit back in the workshop! Quick plan, erect a tent in the woods and see how it goes! Next major job is fitting the spars, making sure I get the correct angle of incidence. Trial fits so far show the slightest change makes a big change to the angle. No absolutely sure how I can get a consistent angle, take it apart, apply glue and get it back together again with the correct angle.
