I spoke with the owners today abut bringing back the Bucker Jungmann and they were interested. If others call them we just might get something going. I am planning on scratch building another one for a back-up.

I spoke with the owners today and maybe if enough callers call in for the kits they might start making them available again.

After visiting GOldbergs facility, it is obvious that the Bunker Jungmann by Goldberg is gone forever. The are going into the ARF business because no one wants to build anymore.

I completed one of these last year with a 160FX and it is an excelllent power to weight combination, I did not have to add any weight at all and mounted the battery behind the lower wing trailing edge in the fuselage, I fly it with a Biela 18x8 and it has unlimited vertical, it will probably 3D but I did not build it for this reason, it weighed out right at 12lbs, not bad. With the extra power from the OS I will probably add smoke at a later time, it's a show stopper.

I Personally Think They Look Good And Love The Scale Color Scheme That Was On The Box Lid. I Have 1 I Am Recovering And 1 NIB. I Also Took The Plans To Work And Used Our Printer To Enlarge Them To 110" Wing Span. I Am Currently Enlarging A Cermark Pitts To 75" Span. Hope To Fly It With A 50cc But It May Take Up To A 75 To 80cc. Have TO Wait Till Spring To See. Love Those Bipes !!!!!

Do not expect the plans to be to scale as related to the kit parts. If you were to trace the plans you would not have parts that will assemble without some difficulty, but that is what modeling is about to some of us. I found this out when making this latest Bucker which required making a fuselage from scratch.
As you can see, I used the color scheme from the box but used yellow and insignia blue instead. I did this becasue I do not see white too well in the sky at times. I also used matching colors of PPG paints for the cowling and wheel pants.

I have just acquired a set of plans for it , and through ignorance I was hoping for the REAL Bucker.....has anyone tried redrawing it to look lie the original inline Bucker? The Goldberg plans are nice but........I like the original version. Looks like a heck of a re-draw.

Aware Of That But Luckily I Have A NIB Kit That I Can Get Exact Templates From And Add Or Change Where It Needs It. Just Messing Around Actually When I Was Enlarging The Plans But Then It Seemed Like A Good Idea. I'll Have To See How The Enlarged Cermark Pitts Files First.

I'm recovering and renovating my old CG Bucker. I'm going to swap the saito 150 instal (sold engine) for the newer OS 120AX.

I no longer have the plans or the manual. Can someone tell me what the recommended CG point is? Thx.

Re: the Goldberg Bucker CG, it would take me a looooonnnng time to dig out the plans, and today is 113 in Phoenix, with my shop not too far behind. However.....I remember making a balance beam from a popsicle stick, which attached to the bottom of the front and rear aluminum wing struts, and I had a notch in it about 3/4" ahead of the rear strut bolt. One on each side of the fuselage, stick your fingers on the notch, and there she was, per the plans. Good place to start, and you could move it back a little bit if you think that is too nose heavy.

Why not just balance it off the top wing? I got bit by that procedure many years ago, and I have a theory that the further you are above the mid-fuselage CG, the more you get a pendulum effect, with any out of balance condition dampened. Engineers may argue with this concept and if so, they are probably right, but I will continue to wallow in my happy ignorance if so :-)

3/4" ahead of rear strut bolt it is then. Thanks Clair.

Greetings.

I have just received a Goldberg Jungmann kit. Do any of you happen to know of Bucker Jungmann building threads on this or another forum or group?

hi all more info can be got from here eg: CofG http://www.carlgoldbergproducts.com/...ed/bucker.html

i hope this is helpful

I have just aquired a Jungmann, fully built rtf less engine.

Will a 90 2s work out or do I need more motor? Any flying tips? I have bipe experience..Astro Hog, and am IMAC level (basic).

Thanks very much,

That depends on the weight of the model. Personally, I'd go with a minimum of a 1.20 4S. I still have mine (the finish is worn out and needs to be redone, it's 14 years old), and it's powered with a Saito 1.50. Mine is finished in fabric and paint and came out at 11.5 lbs. A little on the heavy side, but it flew outstanding and floated in on landings. Follow the setup guidelines from the link above as a starting point and then adjust to suit your flying style. It's an outstanding model, too bad Goldberg doesn't kit it any longer.

I bought one from a club member that has a .91 OS four stroke in it. From watching him fly it, your .91 two stroke should be just fine if you are just into sport flying as I am.

Mine is about 14 years old now, and still flies well. I have a Webra 120 two cycle in it and the vertical is virtually unlimited. I used Monokote, and the plane is in the ten pound range (too lazy to go out into the shop and look it up in my log book). If you just want to tool around and not do anything too demanding, a 90 two cycle would fly it ok. I'd still go with at least a 108 or preferably a 120. They fly well with a 120 four stroke too. It is a great airplane, and a shame that kits are not still available.

Thanks to everyone for replys! I think I'll go with a 1.20 2s as I do want unlimited vertical...I fly my old astro hog bipe with a .90 STigre and its a complete hoot to announce on the flight line ...."taking off from the left and going vertical"...showstopper every time. Something about a biplane...

Can't wait to fly the Jungmann, but mine is built so nicely I might just hang it up as artwork over the basement fireplace...

hi can anyone tell me the size off the wheel pants for a goldberg bucker jungmann thanks

LuvBipes

My Feedback: (4)

Any wheel pant fitting a 3" wheel would work. On mine I installed Cub-style wheels w/ hubs painted to match covering, looks nice too!

My refurbished CG Bucker flies great with the OS 120 AX 2-stroke. Much improved over previous Saito 150. I also shaved about 1/4 lbs from previous covering job, so the glide isn't half-bad for a bipe.

biggestgerbil

Well, I have on of these. For some time I did not know exactly what it was. A club member said it was a Bucker but I thought they had open cockpits. Anyway, mine is in the process of being refurbed (bought it used) Fitting an ASP 120FS. The cowl was already cut for a Laser 150. Thanks everyone for the pics and info.

Anyone know of a source for a new canopy? Mine is paint splattered on the inside when the previous ower did some painting while it was hanging on the ceiling. I purchased it sight unseen thinking it was in the same condition that I had last seen it.
Thanks,
