Any Goldberg Bucker Jungmann lovers out there. I've e-mailed Goldberg asking to bring the Jungmann back. Maybe, with enough responses we can get a new kit run. Jump on the band wagon and lets see. thanks Steve Percifield

No question, it is a really fine biplane. Lanier bought out the Goldberg designs, so maybe if people complain to Bubba they can get the kit back into production. I think parts may still be available, so the kit could be scratch-built.

I was just looking at the Buckner Hobbies ad on RCUs home page and they have it listed. Look here, http://www.brucknerhobbies.com/Goldberg.htm Listed as less than $199.99, I have this kit but have not had time to start it yet. Wyo_Flyer

My favorite 1.2 sized plane of all time. What a flier!!!! I built one and had one new in the box. Sold the new one to a flying buddy with the understanding if he sold it, it comes back to me. He sold it! I was mad. Gave it to him for $100 with glass parts. AWESOME plane! I cant find one any where.

I built 2 Buckys and loved them both and of course the kit is no longer made but I called CG and plans are still available @ $20.00 so I plan to scratch build on this summer. The Bucky was the best flying bipe I have ever flown...there was no roll couple in knife edge and it climbed vertical straight up with no falling off to the left or right...a real pleasure to fly. I WILL have another Bucky this summer.

I do not have any cnc mill or lazer but I have a complete wood working shop that I cut all the parts for my scratch builds. I this sounds good to you e-mail me and we can talk about it over the phone. What part of the world do you live in??

I located one from a guy who had it framed up and in his attic, he ia a great builder so I am not worried about the build, I bought it for $100.00 and everything was there and in excellent condition, I have wanted one ever since I flew my Dads and now I am in process of completing it, what a find, I plan to power it with a Saito 180.

A few years ago when Dave Patrick was first starting his company, I had the pleasure of talking to him at length on the phone. I told him that I had owned all of his designs over the years, but my favorite was the Jungman I had with a Webra 1.20. He seemed very surprised. He told me that it was one of the worst sellers that Goldberg ever produced and he thought it was because of the looks. That must be true, because CG still kits all of Dave Patrick designed planes-- EXCEPT THE JUNGMAN! Oh well......

YES!!!! Bring back the CG Bucker. I have RCM plans for a 1/4 scale Jung'ster that were done by Dave Platt, I think. Nice looking plane with round cowling. Want to build it unless someone re-releases the Carl Goldberg kit. I know of a couple of Buckers and man do they fly beautifully. I've been told the full size plane is a dream to fly as well. Watch the movie 'The Great Waldo Pepper' (Robert Redford) for a scene with a Bucker doing an airshow routine as well fantastic aerial footage of many other biplanes.
