Bucker Bu-133 Jungmeister

Bucker Bu-133 Jungmeister

A classic 1/3-scale aerobatic biplane

With two wings and a round engine, the Bucker Bu-133 Jungmeister, designed as an advanced aerobatic single-seat trainer, is truly the epitome of an aerobatic biplane. This masterpiece of Carl Bucker’s German company, Bucker Flugzeugbau GmbH, rolled out of the factory in early 1935, two years after the introduction of the company’s highly successful two-seat biplane trainer, the Bu-131 Jungman.

The design of the legendary aircraft resulted from Bucker’s collaboration with his brilliant young Swedish engineer, Anders J. Andersson. The two aircraft were very similar in design and construction, and they shared many jigs and components. Both aircraft were commercially successful and certainly provided a major inspiration for Curtis Pitts’ design of the Pitts Special.

  1. Where can I get a Cowl and Fender Set for the Jungmiester BU 133?

  2. There is an article entitled Bucker Bu-133 Jungmeister Rigging FSP0300A, that a reprint comes with the 1/3 scale Gary Allen plans from AirAge. Does anyone know how/where to get a copy or PDF of this two-page article?

    1. Hi Gabe, just emailed you this construction article. Hope you’ll send us a photo of your finished model for Pilot Projects!
