Personal Jungmeister Project
The Bucker Jungmeister Project I have available is my own personal aircraft project. I based this project on the BU 133C model which has the high turtle deck and round engine. I have tried to make this aircraft as original as possible. A few items have small changes that were made either to improve the serviceability or because of material availability. For example, the tubing sizes are in imperial measurements instead of metric and where a match is not possible the next size larger or thicker is used.
The price I am asking for this Bucker Project is $45,000.00 Canadian

Extra Items Included With the Project:

Major items that will be required to finish this project to flying condition:
- Firewall forward (excluding engine mount)

- Spruce to finish ailerons
*Note: the landing gear is new and looks very original. If you would prefer original gear I do have a set complete in very good condition that may need to be rebushed and sealed. They have original woodwork and wheels and brakes. I would offer these instead of the new gear and Cleveland wheels.
Conclusion:
I hope that I’ve been able to answer the majority of the questions that you might have regarding my Jungmeister Project. However, if you have any more questions please feel free to contact me in the evenings at my home or via e-mail. I have more than likely left out some items in the lists but those items will be included with the purchase. This project has been slowly assembled with the best of materials that I could find and it was my intent to keep it as my own personal toy. However, as happens so many times in life your direction changes. I know you or someone like yourself will be able to appreciate the work and time that has gone into this project and will enjoy the exceptional flying qualities of this rare aircraft.
