The Jungster I is a wooden 80% Scale Bucker BU133 Jungmeister designed by Rim Kaminskas.  The Jungster is a strong aerobatic design and is well known for its great handling in the air and on the ground.  Unlike other well know aerobatic biplanes, the Jungster has no tendency to ground loop.

Wood is the superior material for homebuilt light aircraft.  It does not corrode, and it does not fatigue from stress.  Modern wood finishes and a hangar completely address the only potential shortcoming associated with wood (rot from prolonged exposure to water).


The Jungster I and II are by far the simplest of our aircraft designs to build, with many flying completions.  An experienced builder can complete a Jungster in as little as 600hrs.
