You Can Really Feel the production Value of these Videos improve over time, and it has taken a good series to an amazing series. I Cannot Wait Until you can get back out there and continue making this series.
What an amazing video! I love this plane. As you said, Spain built the Jungmann under license even after the war ended, and my father (retired airline pilot) had the opportunity to fly a couple of times in one of those machines as part of his training flights back in the 80s in Valencia airport. Now I'm in flight school myself in Sabadell, near Barcelona, and there are three Jungmann in airworthy condition based here as well! I had the opportunity to see two of them taxiing next to me just prior to a training flight of my own ^^ . Thank you so much for this series of videos, Bismarck. You are the best, man. You made my day. You have long been doing merits for us to become channel members, and you did it again today. You are the first content creator whom I've ever supported, starting right now. You earned it, man. And even more. Your video regarding Wilde Sau was very helpful to me when I was researching information for my final paper at university (I have a degree in history), as well as the source material that you pointed out in the description of that video. To be honest, I should have started supporting you long time ago. Nevertheless, I will not stop supporting you until I die. Have a great day, Bismarck. PD: For those who might wonder or would like some pictures, the Jungmann that are based in Sabadell are these ones: EC-FUU, EC-DAU, EC-FTZ, and the one that was flown by my father was EC-DAL. Here are the respective links: www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-FUU www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-DAU www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-FTZ www.aviationcorner.net/gallery_en.asp?registration=EC-DAL Unfortunately, EC-DAL crashed a couple of years ago, but luckily there were no fatal injuries. And I don't know if the airplane was written off or not, I only know that it sustained severe damage... Here is the official report (it's in Spanish, sorry for that) www.mitma.es/recursos_mfom/comodin/recursos/a-020-2018_informe_final.pdf Ok, it was a long comment. Sorry if it was a bit spammy.
My father was a USAF exchange instructor at the Spanish Air Force Academy in the late ‘60s into the early ‘70s. As of 1972, the SAFA was still flying these and dad has quite a bit of time in those machines (upengined Spanish CASS license-built versions). It was a great trainer, in his opinion, and I have the old movie films of him flying formation acrobatics in the Bücker. Thanks for the nice video and opportunity to reminisce.
A nicely done video! One small correction. The wings are not really modular or interchangeable. This is a very commonly repeated misunderstanding . Certainly they are similar and have a lot of parts in common, but the lower wings have hand-holds at the tips and contain the aileron control mechanism that is not present in the top wings. Of course the top wings have strut fittings on the underside, while the bottom wings have the fittings on the top surface. It would be possible to convert lower wings to upper and vice-versa, but it would not be a trivial task.
Nicely done, sir! It's good to see some videos on these lesser known (and virtually forgotten) planes. Anyone who's ever flown had to go up in a trainer at some point, but we don't usually hear about them. You'd think all those highly skilled pilot just naturally jumped in a Bf109, P51, Spit, F4F, Zero, etc. and were instantly experts. Without planes like this, none of that would have happened.
You should visit Sweden and check out the museum at former F10 wing in Ängelholm, they have a 35 Draken and 39 Gripen you can sit in. The official air force museum in Linköping has many planes but not so many with open cockpits. The museum in Göteborg: Aeroseum is a must visit, it's located in a former underground aircraft shelter packed with aircraft from the cold war era. They have for example a 35 Draken and (my favorite) 37 Viggen you are able to sit in.
Have an old 'Pilot' aviation mag featuring an article about the Bu-131 in which they concluded that the Jungmann wasn't as good a trainer as the Tiger Moth - because it's beautifully harmonised controls made it too easy to fly and 'hid' bad habits whereas the Tiger had to be 'flown' all the time....They also concluded that betweeen the Tiger, the Stampe and the Bucker the latter would be the one they'd prefer to own because it was just so damn nice to fly and be flown in.
An iconic a/c even today. I've flown one and completely understand its purpose and beautiful harmony. Swinging the prop must be done with respect! I still lust after flying a Jungmeister and FW 44. Great vid as always Chris - thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong but endurance is "how long the plane is able to fly with its onboard fuel". 180 km/h max. 1:25 endurance - that would be a range of 315 km. What did I get wrong?
Endurance speed is much less than maximum speed. At high speeds the air resistance increases therefore you need more power and fuel flow increases so you get less endurance. The same applies to slow flight - air resistance gets higher the slower you fly so one must fly at some medium speed to get best endurance or range.
@HiWetcam I think he answered my question... At least I think thats a logical answer, although I never realized HOW MUCH of a difference there is between range at maximum speed and cruising speed in airplanes
Christoph, When doing this video, do you remember where the parking brake is on a Bu-131B and also is the fuel lever 'on' when its pushed forward, or when its pulled back? Brilliant video....
This plane just reminded me. Years ago there was a van down the road from a friend's house belonging to a company called Heisse jungfrau. It has to be a joke name.
Amazing airplane, what made it so good at aerobatic pilotage that wings were very light only 12kg(25lbs) that makes along with a relatively low aspect ratio made for nimble and easy to control when it come to rolls and snaps as well as spins, that is where this aircraft really shines. RC model airplaneS by Paolo Severin are equally impressive if you really want to “Geek out”. P.S. one more thing, there is no speedometers on airplanes, only car have those things... Aircraft have speed indicators and Mach meters. Thank you, Bismarck it was a great video. I enjoyed watching it!
Great videos! While not about any one aircraft, I would like a video about your bookshelf, often seen behind you. What a perfect time to do an "in house" episode that I think many besides myself would appreciate. Let us know which are your favorite histories. Second only to my love of airplanes is my love of good books about airplanes and their use in history. Keep up the good work.
Hey bismark i was reading an article and i think a great vid idea would be if you did a video detaling the insane history of a b 26 marauder nicknamed flack bait the plane flew 213 combat missions from 1943 to 1945 and kept coming back for more
I remember reading an account by Eric Brown, when he took a flight I believe in one of these aeroplanes with Ernst Udet in 1937.... After performing aerobatics with the teenaged Eric, just before landing he inverted the aircraft.. which apparently, rather surprised Eric Brown
I had the oportunity and honour of flying and "piloting" one of the Spanish versions of this plane (with an instructor, of course) 5 or 6 years ago and it was just an incredible experience, still makes my eyes get wet just thinking about it... Edit: The Spanish version is the CASA 1.131
I used to own a lakefound wheel off of a Jungmann, either the trainee pilot was really bad at his job or it was a jungmann turned into warmachine and shot down
The only thing I can think of is that endurance was recorded at full throttle, while the range was recorded at much less. But 650 km is still almost unbelievably long
I'm a student pilot, so I can explain it a bit. As you might know, endurance = time that the aircraft can fly, and range = max distance that the aircraft can reach. In order to obtain maximum endurance you have to fly at a certain speed, and in order to obtain maximum range you have to fly at a different speed. Also, those two speeds are both slower than the maximum speed of the aircraft, so that's why the performance characteristics might look a bit odd.
The endurance time in the video is poppycock. Flight endurance is the maximum length of time that an aircraft can spend in flight, and is affected by cruise altitude, payload, centre of gravity, air temperature, humidity, and speed amongst others. Range, like endurance, is related to fuel efficiency. According to the performance details given by Bismarck in the video, even if the Bü-131 flies at its top speed (Vmax) for the quoted endurance time (with a hypothetical massive fuel tank), it can’t reach the range quoted (182km/h x 1h45min = 318.5km). Flying at Vmax is very fuel inefficient. For optimum range a cruising speed much lower than Vmax must be used, to increase fuel efficiency. Therefore it is blatantly nonsensical what he quoted in the video; the endurance of 1h45min wrong. For example, a Bü-131A with the Hirth HM60R engine (80ps) cruises (Vc) at ~150km/h for a range of 650km, burning around 20l/h.
I know im super cheesy but when i think about the luftwaffe ith ink about two things. Dogfights with the swiss airforce .. and... Waffles Sorry its friday and im tired ;-)

Your introductions have improved a lot, alongside the pacing and structure of the narration. Great videos!
Can you please do a Bücker Jungmeister video?
04:15 "...when a Stieglitz crashed into the final assembly hanger at Bücker..." Well, that's either cruel irony or not-so-devious sabotage!
The last time I was this early, 16 Days in Berlin wasn't even finished...
Military History Visualized really unappreciated joke

Ah the humble trainer plane, oft forgotten, but vital. Informative as ever

It looks a lot like a tigermoth, which isn't surprising I guess given the function is nearly identical.
'Air Force One'. Swiss humour..
At 4:44 the inscription on the hangar wall is in Hungarian. It says "Speed is useful, too little of it is deadly!"
Nice looking little biplane. The engine cowling reminds me a little of the Stampe Vertongen trainers.
Brilliant video. Well done. Such a neat ole classic bi-plane of aviation history. So interesting to hear about its history.

Really nice video!
There is a "Bucker Jungmeister" available in kit form here in the US.
I am loving the music transitions
Great video about the early German basic trainer plane!
I look at the layout, the controls and the gear and engine set up and I feel confident I could fly it. Hope I get the chance someday!
The "Jungmann" really was a young man's game 😉
Perfect intro
Did you take a ride on the Velosolex in the background? Those are awesome machines as well ;)

I love this machine
Looks like the German version of the Tiger Moth-same biplane configuration, same cooling intake.
A question for your next Q & A video: what did your grandfathers do during WW2, were they in the Luftwaffe?
Yes
We should always remember that all pilots have to start somewhere. Looks like a solid bird for the early student pilot.
Nobody ever thinks of the trainer aircraft. But they are no less important, an informative look at aircraft few (myself included) never think about.
Please Make video about Focke Wulf FW-200 Condor that had been restored and on display in Berlin Templehoff
Please make a video about Sonderkommando Elbe
Please do an "Inside the cockpit" of the BU-133 Jungmeister.

That thumbnail is very seductive.
Why is there an altimeter measuring in feet among all the other metric instruments?
Sweet machine, did you manage to bag a ride in her ?
Huh, there a moment when you realize that removing the “s” in your last name means mountain... the more you know
The Bü-181 was construckted by the swede Anders Johan Andersson for Bücker.
Will you make a video/videos of Swedish J21 & J22?
In switzerland, there is no rust. If anybody has ever seen a car or airplane there that is not shiny and polished all around, let me know.
Reminds me of a Tiger Moth. Are they of similar spec? Nice vid btw.

Are the performance stats correct? With a max speed of 180 kph, and an endurance of 1hour 45 min, the range of 650km can't be correct.
