Just want every one to know I'am building a Taylor in the upper midwest of USA and I think the only one being built at this time in the states. Here is a few pictures. If any one has built one and want to share ideas please contact me. Don

Great video. reminds me of a time my wife and I went to the flying field to watch a good friend fly his RC B-24 for the first and last time. After the crash he and I started out with a bag to gather pieces and when we returned the wife was still crying her eyes out. I had trouble getting her to go flying after that show.

Looks like you got your self a Corvair. Is it the 145 cubic inch or the 164 cubic inch? I have a aircraft conversion build book from William Wynn one of the corvair authority in the USA. I have a bellhousing cut down and ready if you need one but depends on if your running the 5th bearing or not. I built a 164 ci for my KR-2.

got a bit closer with the rudder last night. I like the curve and lines of the Taylor- mono tail feathers. -
Here in North Dakota I'd go sit in my KR-2 and drop the canopy down for a few minutes to keep warm in the fall months. Of course it was about 20 degrees Fahrenheit out side but the sun was shinning good.

I will Roger. I'm just finishing my ribs for the Elevator and Horz. Stab and rudder. Doing the shaping of the Spars and getting hinges off my retired KR-2 cleaned up for mounting. I have some pictures posted on the HomeBuiltAirplane forum. I have a cowling for a Soneria that I hope to make fit the T-mono. I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet on this forum but will check into it.On the HBA forum I can go to my pictures on the PC and download to the site and I'am sure its the same way here but I only get asked for the image URL and mine are JPEG I guess I need to use a photo bucket?? Love your plane. Don -

Thanks for the input from the two who did. I thought there was a few more T-M flyers out there -
welcome to the Forum and glad to see there is another Taylor-monoplane builder out there. I would advise to look over the plane close and also the Vertical Stab mounting area. could you give a bit more of an idea on what stage your build is at? Is your tail group done? What firewall do you have? I would be happy to share some building obstacles that I have came across. Welcome aboard Gordo. Don P.S. its a great little plane you should love it

Thank you Roger. Beautiful plane you have. Dad said the Taylor-mono was one of the best he ever flown and as a cropduster for over 30 years to me it says alot. -

I'm near Grand Forks in the north east area. The plans definitely show the fin removable. the plans show that the mounting straps are on the inside of the longerons. tho many pictures of T-mono show the straps on the outside. This is why I'm asking around and hope a UK builder can give me some pointers. -
Hello all. I'm in the cold windy state of North Dakota USA and I'm building a Taylor-monoplane and sure could use some photos of the tail group to help me in my build. I have a well built Fuselage but the fella who built it glued in the vertical Stab and the prints show it to be removable. I'm having trouble seeing what the builder had in mind to get the mounting straps through the opening or was his intentions to mount the straps last? If anyone has some input it sure would be helpful. Pictures and response can be sent to me at [email protected] Thanks Don.
