Question, how many here are involved with real airplanes?

[He111]

None of the above .. but one can dream. With my eye sight, they wouldn't let me on the base!

An addiction to WWII "Commando" comics as a kid got me into WWII combat flying!

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
