Design and development

The Jungster II is a parasol version based on the previous Jungster I biplane design, which itself was a scaled down version of the Bücker Bü 133 biplane. Plans are distributed by Howard Allmon.

The aircraft is a single-seat, open cockpit, strut-braced, parasol wing design with conventional landing gear. The airframe can accommodate engines ranging from 85 to 180 hp (63 to 134 kW). The fuselage is constructed of 7/8 x 7/8 wood truss with aircraft fabric covering. The wing has a slight rearward sweep.[3]

gollark: I basically just have to divide the force by γ³ as long as the box is ticked.
gollark: It turns out that implementing special relativity is very easy (since it's rendered from the reference frame of the ground or something).
gollark: Well, I remember some sort of "lunar lander" game I made several years ago, presumably very loosely based on the "lunar lander" game on ??? platform, so it's based on that.
gollark: Apo11o has evidently internalized this fact.
gollark: There is NO ESCAPE.
