Taylor Monoplane
First post-war design to come from England
for construction in small spaces with
minimum tools and materials; semi-aerobatic.
Aimed exclusively at lower power range such
as the VW engine.
The Taylor Monoplane was designed by the late John
Taylor. Plans built, all wood construction. Rugged for +/- 4.5G (at
700 pounds) construction. Very affordable, easy to build aircraft.
