Auster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Auster Aircraft Limited began as Taylorcraft Aeroplanes (England) Limited in 1938 making light observation aircraft designed by the Taylorcraft Aircraft Corporation of America at the Britannia Works, Thurmaston near Leicester, England. All designs were evolved from the early Taylorcraft with a sprung skid or tailwheel beneath the fin, except for a low wing aircraft called the Agricola designed for crop-spraying purposes; unfortunately only two of these were completed. When Beagle Aircraft Company bought the company in June 1961 the successful high wing design was developed still further as the Terrier and - with a nosewheel - the Airedale. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Auster   (198 words)

Taylorcraft BD-12 Pilot Report The reason for that is the image many carry in their minds of a Taylorcraft is of it sitting lop sided on the back tie down line, one tire flat, a bird-nest apartment in the cowling and mice running up and down inside the rotting fabric. Even though every pilot on the airport recognized that Taylorcrafts were far faster than the rest of the 65 hp group (with the possible exception of 8A Luscombes), the airport hobo was most likely to be a Taylorcraft. Most Taylorcrafts use Shinn brakes which are mechanical shoe types with the lining on the drums, not the shoes. www.airbum.com /pireps/ClassiccompTCraft.html   (2225 words)

The Southern Aviator General Aviation News received phone calls and emails from Taylorcraft owners who ordered replacement parts from Ingram's operation and said that the parts were old stock produced years ago and not airworthy. Others said they ordered parts and were promised delivery dates, but when the parts didn't arrive on time and they called to ask about them, Ingram allegedly gave them excuses or misled them about the factory's ability to make the parts. GAN received an email from one man who expressed concern that other people would not be able to do due diligence before they put down $60,000 for a new airplane. www.southern-aviator.com /editorial/articledetail.lasso?-token.key=10348&-token.src=index&-nothing   (1582 words)

Taylorcraft   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) It’s not often that the federal government restores what it has taken away but in some ways, that’s exactly what has happened with the Taylorcraft, a classic taildragger design. As of mid-2004, the FAA’s new light sport aircraft rules actually permit owners of some T-craft to operate them under vastly less restrictive rules that hark back to the days when the airplane first appeared on the market. Whether the brave new world of LSA will make old taildraggers like the Taylorcraft a hot item, thus driving up the prices, is a crap shoot. www.aviationconsumer.com /pub/34_12/usedaircraftguide/5402-1.html   (160 words)
