Bucker Jungmeister - Mechanic's Corner - Strut Boot Fabrication

[@kgs42]

It is inspiring to see all the skilled craft which goes into restoring these aircraft. Just wonderful.

[@imbok]

This is a good reminder of how much hand labor goes into these restorations.

[@robertmalone2745]

That is skill (and art) you do not get to see much. Thanks for letting us go along for the ride.

[@bradmullins229]

Love the restoration videos Friend of mine owns a Spanish Bu 131 He gave me a full aerobatic ride in it, never forget it, amazing plane Thanks for sharing this video

[@angelreading5098]

What a wonderful skillful lady and such an asset to Fantasy of Flight in being able to do these fiddly time consuming jobs,the upper ones are going to be even more difficult to do,such attention to historic detail really completes the restoration job,this is such an evocative aeroplane which displays the German engineering of its time so well,we are honoured to be able to see these insights first hand like this and it was a pleasure to watch Andrea form that leather as she did around the struts,thank you once again for allowing us these deep insights into aircraft restoration at its finest.

[@joseantoniomartin3155]

Lady?? She looks like a lesbian to me. Are lesbians ladies? I do not think so.

[@angelreading5098]

How rude of you to say something like that,her sexuality has nothing to do with you or anyone else for that matter,your mind has overlooked the most important part and that is her dedication and skills which are such an assett to Fantasy of Flight,you disgust me.

Angel Reading ok.

[@christianmccollum1028]

Love me some Andrea!

[@mongolike513]

Dear Andrea, thank you for the Masterclass.

[@keithnoneya]

Other than aesthetics do provide a useful purpose? VERY nice job Andrea. Keep up the good work, we love it. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

[@normanbott]

Beautiful work, a joy to watch. I was getting really nervous when Andrea was screwing in the fastenings ! But she is too much of a professional to make a slip so close to finished coverings. I love Mechanic's Corner, please continue these episodes.

[@1boortzfan]

Thanks for another great video. It is great video. It's also awesome to see a young lady that has such a passion to do this work.

[@hannes_lutzenberger]

Love Andrea´s passion for quality

[@fw1421]

Great job Andrea! You make it look easy.😁

[@geauxlsu1987]

These more detailed technical videos are awesome, keep it up! Kermie cam vids are always awesome too btw! The more “instructional” the better, it’s the closest some of us can get to flying and working on the real things!

[@LightAndSportyGuy]

Nice to watch the process - what, why, and how.

[@rolandalfonso6954]

Indeed! This was wonderful. A Master at her craft. Thank you, Andrea for taking the time.

[@christiancormier7847]

Awesome job Andrea. Jeez another ACE in Kermie's Squadron.

[@davidbutterfield2949]

Great work, I’m sure it was not as easy as you made it look. The different skills needed on these restorations is always good to see 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@bigun447]

Without the great experts in the hangar those boots would not be flying over anyone. Great job Andrea.

[@RifullOfTheWest]

Wow this is amazing work, and great detail in the videos showing whats involved.

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Is that all there is to it lol, excellent craftswoman! Such little details so up in the end.

[@BunnyR13]

Great process vid........ Am also liking the R A F Be2c on the blocks AND the Laser 200 in the rafters.

[@welshpete12]

Thank you for posting always fascinating to see an expert at work !

[@NesconProductions]

Jungmeister sounds like a stiff drink.. lol! Boggles the mind how much effort goes into restoring these historic aircraft and unique skills involved. Love the work (as always) & best wishes..!

[@marchindy]

Looks awesome...please keep these videos coming. Thanks

[@projekt6_official]

Love it. Fantastic work Andrea!

[@sski]

Excellent work!

[@andypaine7489]

Great craftsmanship!

[@wesgates5632]

All those sharp tools around fabric covered wings! Nice work.

[@dominiceller1821]

Thank you for an excellent video, very useful and informative. I may use this technique on my Jungster rebuild ( 80% Jungmeister)

[@mikmerl1]

Skillfully executed ........ with the proper care they should be good for many many years

[@wilsonandremachadosilveira4983]

Excelent work!

[@leet2089]

Fascinating!!

[@edwardlove4300]

Very cool, lots of patience needed!

[@ColeAviation]

OUTSTANDING work!!!! VERY professional job!!! 👍🏼

[@joefrawley5295]

So I was wondering, what exactly is the boot for? Aerodynamics, weather protection, both? Also, why punch the holes behind the strut in the boot when you're stitching them together? Great video. Awesome work Andrea.

[@radiobikini6429]

I love mechanics corner.................

[@tomservo5347]

I'd be mortified punching holes through the wing fabric because the law of probabilities and cosmic disorder wouldn't let my holes line up with the bracket. Good work Andrea, done with confidence and competence.

[@1971VoiceoftheMummy]

I have a tupid question. Why is the stitch facing the leading edge? I'm thinking smooth air flow. Hmmm, looking at it more I guess if that was attempted the brace wire would need to be removed and feed through a hole in the leather. Maybe that would be too much work... just thinking...

[@angelreading5098]

If you look carefully you will see that the strut bracing wires are firmly encompassed by the leather boots,if they were the other way around then it would be difficult to form the shape properly,the boots fit snugly around that complex area,the boots are also more secure that way too.

[@1971VoiceoftheMummy]

Yea, I'm looking at this view at 17:00 and the rear boot she's is working on. That would be difficult to form around the brace rod. First having to remove the rod first to slip into a hole in the boot if the stitching were to face the rear. Awesome skills! TY!

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

Nice work. I wonder why the originals weren't made out of rubber though.

[@clydecessna737]

Surely with the boot stitched in, it inhibits the Annual or 100 hr inspection of the nuts and bolts?

[@thx113868]

What is the reasoning for the boots? To keep the weather out? Nice job on them Andrea.

[@christianmccollum1028]

The buzzing from the overhead lights would drive me insane after a few hours.

[@robmitchell3633]

Nice job

[@SailingYachtDreamcatcher]

great stuff!!

[@ironbark1822]

No idea why this interested me so much lol.

[@cavman7]

All you needed was Vegetable-tanned leather. It will fold and take a shape easily, no need to use sheep leather. Obviously what you tried before was Mineral (chromium) tanned leather which will NOT take a shape.

[@fockewolf1980]

Alex Papana would have been proud of her work :)

[@1musicsearcher]

Wow. I would’ve never known that’s how those were made. Nancy Sinatra would be proud for the mention.

[@joseantoniomartin3155]

No because those boots were not made for walking.

[@leesherman100]

"One of these days these BOOTS are gonna FLY right over YOU!" Flying boots are a lot more fun than Jane Fonda's walking boots.

[@kathyjohnson1763]

Just left liked they use to

[@boilermaker7754]

I would have used duct tape...I guess that's why they don't let me work on airplanes. :)

[@PaulScott_]

As I used to tell my technicians in the Air Force - be sure you use the good expensive duct tape and not the cheap tape! LOL

[@tomservo5347]

It'd work-your just calling it the wrong thing. In the Army it was called 'hundred mile an hour tape'.

[@kathyjohnson1763]

Just left KEN they used tox

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Somebody pull up a chair for this lady and offer her a bottle of cocacola (classic, not the imposter). Nice work, very skillful and deft, which only a woman's hands can perform to such a high standard.

[@joseantoniomartin3155]

Only a womans hand can perform to such a hi standard? This is the silliest sentence read today.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Have you ever tried playing the Harp or knitting? You need a cocacola too, amigo.
