wellsprop Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi all, I'm trying to work out the differences between the various Bucker/CASA 131 variants. I have Gary Allens plans as well as a couple of others and the profile publication (the trouble is, it isn't clear whether these dimensions include the spinner). I'm aware there are/were technical drawings with dimensions available (see below), but I can't find any high res versions https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images3/360/0515/06/bucker-casa-bu-131-jungmann-aircraft_360_9cc43a23030508b9f4978fc21afbe207.jpg https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/bucker-casa-bu-131-jungmann-aircraft-1775271232 EDIT: I've actually just found a pdf of the airframe manual online, so that's another great help. It's still be nice to find some high resolution scans, particularly of any original drawings or modern CAD. Any help would be much appreciated!

JWM Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Some nice drawings (not dimensioned, though) are here https://moto.pl/MotoPL/7,90800,5252621,bucker-bu-131-jungmann.html A replica of Bu 131 is constructed in Poland, perhaps you can contact them to get what you need (they have original documentation) https://air-res.com/en/jungmann-en/ J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Main differences are the engines, with the Casa 131 having a much heavier ENMA Tigre IV, which admittedly does significantly pep up the performance but puts the CG forward of where it really ought to be and upsets the handling to some degree. (It's still better than most, though). Suggest you check out this site. https://bucker.info/index.php/weight-aamp-balance-mainmenu-47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 There’s a restored and flying Jungmann very near to you Wellsprop at Henstridge airfield (ex-wartime HMS Dipper). I can give you the contact number of the owner if you wish, but I also have many photos that I took when I was last there. Max 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
