Hi Guys.I'm looking for information on Don Taylors plane that was used in the 1975 round the world flight. Of particular interest is MAUW, total fuel carried,instruments,route, and whether or not any alterations were made to the main spar etc.I spoke to a gentleman from LA about a year ago who worked on the project,but I've lost his contact details. He described the wet wings,and the challenges building them, but didn't know if the spar was any different from standard. I believe that all the specs are buried in the archives at EAA somewhere.Any clues? Sincere regards, Kevin Foster |
