RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Hi Ken, Been silent for a long time. Have been assembling the bones for my Jungie. I find I need some information since I don't want to re-invent the wheel. I noticed on one of your entries that you have photos of your servo, linkage set-up, etc. I am particularly interested in the elevator. Did you use dual servos w/ pull-pull setup or what. I would appreciate any pic's you might have. Those on the thread are not as detailed as I seem to need. If you wouldn't mind responding by e-mail I would appreciate it, as I'm sure I'll have additional questions. kgcarp@xpressweb.com. As always thanks for your assistance. Kirt C.

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Good day ALL!! Have been sorta quiet for some time. I've been working on my 1/3 scale fuse this winter. The Ariz. plans and laser cutting are not the quality I would have liked. Regardless I have worked through my frustrations and by following the thread have found answers to most questions. I am starting to think dihedral and I'm not sure of the AZ template. Somewhere in the thread it was mentioned dihedral for the lower wing is 3.5 degrees and the upper 1.5 degrees. Now for the dumb part of my question, is that negative or positive? I have heard that some planes use a negative dihedral and I want to be sure. I really appreciate having this thread as a resource. Spring is finally arriving in the desert but every time I think about flying the wind comes up. Cross winds just don't work for the stretch of highway I use with sage and cactus along the shoulders. Thanks Guys....Kirt

Hi Charlie, I'm surprised you found a way out of the snow up there in Laramie to talk airplanes. Thanks for the custom muffler info. I'll search that out. Kirt

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Hi Ken, Just a post script. The ideal of modifying an existing muffler would probably work. Believe it or not, we have a premier manfacturer of aluminum boats right here in the middle of the southwest desert. They are always happy to have something different to do. Kirt

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Hi Guys, Thanks for the suggestions. As to noise pollution, I'm not sure that my part of the country has ever heard of such sophisticated considerations. I usually fly on a seldom used highway that eventually skirts the north rim of the Grand Canyon. I'm usually OK as long as the wind doesn't change and I watch for dump trucks. On occasion I venture down and force the guys in the St. George, UT club to associate with me. Anyway, thanks for the photos and comments. This is really neat, being able to finally share building comments with somebody. Thanks, Kirt...

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
I have been reviewing the thread as I wait for my supplemental materials to begin assembling my short kit Jungmeister. I really appreciate all the years of contributions. I feel I will be able to build this thing and enjoy my time doing it rather than being frustrated, as I think I would be without this site....Thanks Again! One question that keeps coming to mind: Has anyone made their own muffler that uses the dummy on the Jungmeister cowling. That sounds kinda neat to me. Any ideas or comments? Thanks, Kirt

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Thanks Kevin.. I sorta figured that out. Do you have any other balsa supplier since Lone Star burned down?

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Kevin,Thanks for the quick turaround. I guess my dementia isn't so bad after all. I figured out how to make the link work...I ran the list off and am ready to order.This internet stuff is pretty cool, particularly for somebody as far out in the sticks as I am.

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
Hi Kevin, In response to your retirement question. I don't see how you can retire from the military as we will definitely be needing you in Iraq for a few more years. Thanks for the info but dementia must be catching up to me. I logged into your club website and immediately was lost. Can you give me specific direction to the Jungmeister parts list after I am logged in? Thanks for the welcome and if I ever get far enough along I will always be glad to help out.

RE: Gary Allen 33% Bücker Jungmeister
I just received my 1/3 scale short kit from Arizona models. I have waited for this for some time and am excited about this site. As I have looked over the plans I realized that short means exactly that. Do any of you have a list of additional building materials, etc. that would save me the the trouble of having to do a "takeoff" to build the list? I would like to order the necessary balsa, etc. all at once as the nearest hobby shop is miles and miles away. Also I have been really thrilled to see the pics, etc. already posted and would like to see any new that are available. I am a 70+ guy that built models in my youth. I took up RC three years ago and can't hardly get enough.I find I continually have more questions than answers and would appreciate any advice I can get. I really don't have a club available so simulatin' turns out to be stimulatin". After that it's just try and try until it works....
