Question, how many here are involved with real airplanes?

Category 1 for me... 390 hours in single engine props and gliders... The only types I've got stick time on that are anywhere close to these planes are the Tiger Moth, Yak-52 and SK-60...

1 & 2 for me...I am an aeronautical engineer (avionics mainly), 3500H, and flight instructor (gliders/airplanes). I am inactive for the time being due to workload, but not for very long anymore...too frustrated!

Lucky you

Im also pilot of single engine props and gliders ( also aerobatic). I tried Bucker Jugnamm biplane very close to Tigher Moth - they are lovley planes which could do some aerobatic.


I hope so in close future Zlin 526F - aerobatic plane.

Trust me man, the Jungman is WAAAAY better than the Tiggie! I logged some 150 hours on Tiger Moths: they're slow, sluggish and unforgiving! When I had a go on a Jungmann it was a revelation!

YEa the Jungman is the lovley plane. I dont had experience with Tiger Moth but i belive what you wrote. Pity that my friend haven't got now his nice Bucker

I could say that flying Bucker Jungmann was my best flight i made in life.

despite its old design the Jungmann is probably the best balanced and more satisfying aerobatic aircraft to fly with. Ask any pilot who had a chance to fly with it and see what they say

@ Armatian: wing misalignment of almost 20cm?!?!
that's crazy man!!

[Flanker35M]

S!

20cm is a lot, actually a crapload in terms of aircraft structure no matter how well it is built. Bücker Jungmann was the plane of the aces

[Armatian]

Of course is a lot, in year 2000, the oldest series was being taken off the skies. The pilots are used to stress it to max g's (not that high for this plane, 7g) in everyday flight, so it shows. Still was diagonal (longitudinal and vertical less than 20) and each wing contributed half of it, but anyway, those planes were really twisted, being duraluminum, i truly believe stories of p-38 aces rendering new planes to bananas in a couple of flights.
