Giant Scale Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister Biplane

[@MrTaylorTexas]

If I was a kid, I would figure out some way of getting a ride in that! The proportions are perfect for a child size pilot!

[@ToddDunning]

That would actually work too

[@normg2242]

This is bigger than the Bede, which carries a real pilot! This is crazy, that's why I love it! Thumbs up well deserved!

[@cw2gtc]

would it? …could it? …..never mind the “should it?!?”

[@Brough1111]

Wow love the Jungmeister

[@charlesfoster141]

That is a fine model airplane. Very scale like in flight. I enjoyed the sounds as well. Thanks for sharing your model with us. Guy in Columbia Mississippi

[@stevenpayne9063]

Unbelievable!! As a pilot, I cannot see how someone on the ground can fly (and land) an aeroplane as well as that - I could not do as well if I was sat in it. I almost forgot to add: what a magnificent piece of kit!! 😉

[@leafforever9174]

I was thinking the exact, same thing. Wow !!!

[@shannonDRAGRACEING]

What a beautiful landing. Wow

[@kaykiekid]

🤦Unbelievable! What a giant beauty!

[@johnbyrne52]

Fantastic aeroplane well done..

[@sheriffjohn2498]

A simple but wonderful flight! Nice going! My favorite airplane

[@jacekbrodowski3310]

Ungeowenlich, fantastisch !

[@sirvardusmaximus9408]

The cost and effort put into that surely it could have been scaled up a little more and turned into an experimental?! But fair play what a piece of art!

[@franciscourena5636]

**** RESPECT Great presentation

[@leafforever9174]

Unbelievable. I wonder if one has to submit a flight plan😂 But, I'm impressed, all the same👌

[@bagoistvan3182]

Hi - FANTASTIC DISPLAY !!! The actual real life plane was transported in the USA under the belly of the mighty airship Hindenburg where her pilot lt. Alexandru Papană used it on airshows and for a while was sponsored by Shell. If sombody wants to see the actual plane flying please check out the movie The Great Waldo Pepper ( 1975 ) where Waldo idol the german flying ace Ernst Kessler ( Ernst Udet ? ) is using it to display an outside loop - the last great stunt which remained ....anyway after Papană returned to Romania the plane remained in the US being owned by many people and had a distinguished career helping many pilots to achieve top ratings in the aerobatic world. After many years ended up in the movie . At this point the original Bramo ( Argus ? ) engine was long gone being replaced by americans mainly Lycomings or Continentals generally when she acquired her new master. If my sources are right in the movie she is powered by a 260 hp Continental....After the movie was completed the airframe was seen very seldom in the air being at this point hopelessly out performed by much younger designs ....but her luck still holded out. Sombody acquired it and after a short return to the sky she was donated to the AIR & SPACE MUSEUM ( Smithsonian ? ) in Washington DC where after restoration she was - and still is !!!! - put on display in her original YR - PAX paint scheme. .....If sombody could confirm or deny any of this above mentioned- fabulation - about this wonderful aircraft please do so . Any new information is greatly appreciated. Many thanx to the building team for their efforts in recreating this famous aircraft type .... and FOREVER BLUE SKIES Herr Bücker wherever you are.

I know that wow is an understatement. How many man hours to accomplish this project.

it flies and looks like the real deal.

it sounds quiet for such a big bipe . did I read that rite 500 plus cc 's for this? very nice build.

[@flmnkoh]

Scale plane made with magnificent detail very close to the original, it only lacked having carried out a more varied and typical aerobatic flight routine of this aircraft such as the basic Cuban eights; barrel rolls; snap rolls; hammer heads; wing overs, which are required maneuvers in an aerobatic routine and not too aggressive to risk the plane too much. -After all, it was an airplane to do acrobatics and as such it is expected to be seen by the audience and judges of the event.

[@andreiv912]

The plane belonged to the Romanian pilot Alexandru(Alex) Papana.Papană obtained his pilot's license in 1928 while in Romania, and was already setting altitude records in 1931. At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, he competed in gliding (which was a demonstration sport), finishing a respectable 12th as the only representative from Romania. This earned him an invitation to an aerobatics competition in Los Angeles. Papană accepted the offer, and he and his plane, a Bücker Bü 133B Jungermeister (one of only two versions of that variant ever produced) with the registration YR-PAX, were flown from Frankfurt, Germany to New York, New York aboard the Hindenburg airship in August 1936. He then flew across the United States from New York to Los Angeles, winning the race between the cities. In Los Angeles, he won the national air races that were held there. In December of that year, Papană finished second with the Jungermeister in a race from Miami, Florida to Havana, Cuba. At an airshow in Cleveland, Ohio the following year, Papană was in a battle with fellow aviator Count Hagenburg that ended up crashing the count's aircraft. Papană offered Hagenburg his aircraft, but the count refused. Papană's aircraft was damaged on the runway at an airport in Chicago, Illinois in 1940. The plane was sold twice before being donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1973. The aircraft is now located at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. Papană later tested gliders for Northrop as a test pilot, many of his flights being documented in Flying magazine. He was involved in the trials for the P-61 Black Widow aircraft that would be involved during World War II for the United States Army Air Forces.

prima!

[@davidscott41]

Great

[@oegeat]

[@FlyingRob1]

Schönes Modell, aber kein Looping drin?

[@charlesfoster141]

How many man hours to build this airplane and how much was the $$$ investment? My guess; 750 hours and $6,500.00 USD. Thanks

[@Mainbusfail]

If you crash one this size does NTSB get involved ?

[@patrickhale424]

It looks big enough to be flown by a person instead of by remote.

[@davidscott41]

It would also be cool with smoke coming from wing tips and scale modell woman standing on the top wing

[@danstoye3902]

The Ukrainians need to borrow this!

[@nolhrt]

I've seen smaller 'full size' aeroplanes. I'd love to fly a full size Bucket.

[@miguelsuarez8010]

I have a small one (1 meter wingspan) I am planning to enlarge the plans (not this big). Maybe 2 meters.

What type of Servo do you use ? For this big scale RC Plane?

[@Paiadakine]

Read the description. Some kind of industrial servos.

It’s big enough to get in and fly it.

[@knuthkneusel777]

Uniquely beautiful aircraft, I am thrilled. I just wonder why you mounted the propeller the wrong way round. Was that intentional or just an oversight? I think it flies wonderfully as it is. Best regards from Karlsruhe

[@bryanbaumer250]

it appears to be a pusher , turned into a puller....

[@Statek63]

What are you talking about ?

[@cleareddirect7013]

At that point why not just build one that you can fly in

[@jimmyhaley727]

When will someone over there fly a full scale F16 by RC????,, waiting, come on men with plenty of money, just do it

[@pufango4059]

To big ,wouldn’t want to be in the crowd if it crashes and yes I know all about safety checks etc . Superb model all the same

[@JoeKacmarik]

Why not just make it FULL scale?!?!

Electric start would have been the trick.

[@yyyelsicnarf]

bro this is not a model anymore, this shit is a real airplane lol kkkkkk, It must have real aviation register to fly LOL KKKKKKK

[@stephenmcgrath1955]

I fly aerobatic gas models and to me that model though beautiful, is ridiculous. Whats the point, whats he trying to prove. Doesnt look like it has the performance (and fun) that a smaller model would have.

[@shanep8386]

Each to their own.. He has made an outstanding aircraft.. Kudos to him... A project that size would require a lot of dedication and determination... So Well done..

[@dougjacksonjackson9132]

Why don't you just fly it yourself, probably big enough or are you scared to fly for real

[@thomasciul8932]

I fly RC. That plane is dangerous and foolhardy

[@ShireGanj]

May as well fly a real plane at this point

[@ShireGanj]

@@washout1000 I mean because of size and cost you may as well fly a real plane not an RC giant. Just an opinion from a micro flyer.
