Tauras Ets

[BIGPETE]

Who is using Taurus and how do you find it?

 

Most of my club are on Benzing systems. But a Taurus has come up relatively cheap. But with me having no experience or never seen one in use I wanted to ask anybody who has to share their knowledge/experience with this system.

 

Any info much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Pete

A couple of fanciers in my club use it. Their brother / uncle bought it before he died, so it became the club system. A few others have Benzing and one Unikon. The Benzing is the easiest of them all to use in my opinion.

The tauris system is not the easiest to do... here are the basics... or complex whatever you want to call them.

you will need to run a dummy race to get a test done.

this I do before the season.

1 - Allocate rings, Clear old rings off and then print off 3 copies, sign the lot with other club officials. keep 2 in club and give 1 to member.

2 - Do a test race, print it off and keep copy in club and give 1 to member.

3 - Certificate to member that ets has passed test.

4 - Check members lofts for pad positioning . For rpra the pad must not be able to clock a ring if the trap is closed. Easy to check in a minute.

 

To view times press start then 5
