Giant Scale Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister Biplane

Wingspan Weight 140kg Engine 2-cylinder 521cc Hirth ultralight Helmut Müller’s 85% scratch-built Bücker looks like it could carry a small person! The model weighs in at 286 pounds and is powered by a Hirth 521cc 2-stroke (intended for an ultralight!) turning a Fiala 60 x 20 wood propeller. The model uses industrial-quality Tonegawa Seiko servos, a redundant radio system and a dual-ignition starter. Helmut glued and sewed the Seconite covering (like that used on some man-carrying planes) that replicates the plane that Romanian captain Alex Papana flew at the Olympic Games in 1936 (the first and last time that flying was an Olympic sport). Thanks go  to RC Media World for sharing this great footage from the Megaflugshow in Göttingen, Germany.
