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]
