The wide body is also designed to create lift, dont know how it works
but it does.....

Thanks

Interesting. The Taurus looks like a very innovative product.
I usually double the aspect ratio and find that the max L is below that.
In the case of the Taurus the aspect ratio is 18 but the max L is 41. Is
there something else in the design that accounts for this?
Thanks.

Just a quick email, i have been forgetting to keep the soaring list
updated on our activities recently.

We have sent two new newsletters regarding the Pipistrel range of aircraft
recently.

Newsletter 24 is the flight for sight, an annual event flying around QLD
which this year raised over $100,000 for the Royal Blind Foundation. Three
Pipistrel aircraft took part and you can read about it at
http://www.mcp.com.au/sinus/newslett...letter-24.html

Newsletter 25 is a short newsletter with some nice pictures on the Taurus
aircraft, the first customer deliveries are on target for March and its an
exciting new plane which is either self launch or towable, it has created
a lot of interest in Australia. There is also some information on the
Sinus TUNDRA.... why would you do it - i keep asking ?? and some new wing
testing taking the Sinus wing to over 10 g's !!

And finally we have just uploaded the build manual for the Sinus and Virus
kits..... at 11.5 mb its a big download but if your thinking of either a
200 hour or 400 hour kit you can at least see what's ahead of you in
detail.

Take care.
