Hi All, greetings from Pemberton in the Deep South of West Australia, I’ve been stalking this site for some time.

 

The recent mention of another Taylor Monoplane build has pushed me to get involved!

 

My background has been in powered parachutes, also just completed XC endorsement in our local clubs Tecnam Sierra.

 

I acquired the 70% completed Taylor a couple of years ago and now keen to progress / complete so chasing some advice on this little wooden project.

 

Regards

 

Gordo

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

 

Here’s a couple of photos that will show where this project is up to.

 

Thanks for the positive encouragement, I have a couple of “friends” who reckon I should abandon this short coupled wooden project!...we’ll see!

 

The firewall and engine are just dry mounted to see how it looks, more to be done.

 

Cheers Gordo
