RE: Need engine choice for Goldberg Bucker Jungman
Skip,
I have two Bucker Jungmans. One is powered with an OS 120 and flies okay. I am selling this airframe because I am aging and have decided to scale down to smaller/slower airplanes. The other is powered with a Saito 180 and flies absolutely awesome. I did have to prop down to a 16X6 Scemitar prop to stop the severe yawing at rapid throttle increase. It is the best flying bipe I have ever flown. I opted to use the Fiberglass Specialties Inc. front turtle deck with integral canopy, cowling and wheel pants. This bird is 10 years old and still going. I did put flying wires on the tail feathers for reinforcement. The vertical is definitely unlimited. If all of the incidences are set right you can put it on knife edge and it does not leak toward the canopy or wheels. Pictures attached
Enjoy your Bucker as I have.
