Gordon Clemant had fun giving some Jungmann rides recently, and boy did this man get it! So inspired was "The Pasture Pilot", he wrote a great blog post about the experience.
"Pasture Pilot"
Here is an extract:
Flying the Jungmann is, to me, the embodiment of all the flying dreams
we have. One doesn’t dream of buffets, shudders and having to gear my
brain to mesh into an airplane’s automation. One dreams of the
bovine-scented air rising up from the pasture off the end of the runway,
the swish of air around a flying helmet, and of the horizon tumbling
round in a perfect, gentle snap roll.

I have met more than one person who has told me they prefer a single seat aircraft so that they aren't bothered by people wanting rides. Never really understood that.
