Don January

I have been working on the rudder cables and elevator here is some pictures of the pulleys I have built in. one picture is of the KR-2 hinges mounted to the rudder and also a picture on the elevator cable layout under seat. Its all a work in progress. more later

FEW MORE UPDATED PHOTOS OF MY BUILD. Its coming along fine.

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.

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.

Great job Dave. I will save to my files for sure. Thank you

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

Hi Don,my stab is dowelled to the fuse at the front & bolted to the rudder post with a cut out over the elevator. It also needs to be removable 'cause the horizontal stab in mine is one piece.

I also have plans showing this. Have included a piccy which may or may not help.

 

Cheers, Roger.

 

PS: These aircraft are an absolute joy to fly, hope you have loads of fun in it.

One of my friends built one many years ago and I visited him many times during its construction. When I lived in the UK for a bit I visited the Taylor family - Terry is still actively supporting the design so I suggest that you contact him at TaylorTitch.co.ukThis photo suggests that the vertical stab was not designed to be removable http://www.taylortitch.co.uk/images/thumbs/001.jpg

Which part of ND are you in? I lived in WY for a while and flew up to ND a couple of times.

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.
