Before Air-Res took over production of the Jungmann replicas previously produced by Serwis Samolotów Historycznych (SSH) in Poland, SSH president Janusz Karasiewicz had been working on a Jungmeister replica with an in-line engine, similar to the original prototype.
Benoit Dierickx (Deer-Ricks) - yes, the R/C pilot who flew at Degerfeld - now owns the aircraft.
SP-YBK is powered by a six cylinder LOM337 and "Performace" propeller making 210HP at take-off. Should be quite a performer and, I would imagine, one of the fastet Jungmiesters around. Benoit currently flies a Stampe SV4B from an airport south of Brussels.
The Jungmiester's engine was checked and tested by the LOM factory, before being reinstalled by Zlin-Avion at the famous Otrokovice airport in the Czech Republic. Benoit is working through the administrative details prior to the first flight.
