Wingspan 5.3m
Weight 140kg
Engine 2cylinder 521cc Hirth ultralight



Helmut Müller’s 85% scratchbuilt Bücker looks like it could carry a small person! The 17.5footspan model weighs in at 286 pounds and is powered by a Hirth 521cc 2stroke (intended for an ultralight!) turning a Fiala 60 x 20 wood propeller. The model uses industrialquality Tonegawa Seiko servos, a redundant radio system and a dualignition starter. Helmut glued and sewed the Seconite covering (like that used on some mancarrying planes) that replicates the plane that Romanian captain Alex Papana flew at the Olympic Games in 1936 (the first and last time that flying was an Olympic sport).
