I couldn’t remember the name “Taurus”.  Dang!.  I was pretty sure it wasn’t a Kwik Fly, but close.  I had a Kwik Fly and flew at the field where Phil would show up once in a while.  Cliff Weirick, too.  Sepulveda Basin near Van Nuys, CA.

The blue one was built by my Dad with fiberglass fuse and foam cut and sheeted flying surfaces.  He modified the control surfaces to take advantage of his new Logictrol digital proportional radio.  Circa 1967.
