Great Lakes or a Jungmann, to be honest.

Jungmeister for sure :-))


Yeah, I know someone who had one before I met him. ******* sold it so I
never got to fly it!
just one of the prettiest airplanes ever.

What about a Stampe?


Nice, kinda weird ailerons, though. The top ones are real loose on
most and I worried about flutter, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Nearly bought one cheap years ago. Lucky I didn't as they have some
serious issues with the fuselage getting oil soaked. You can easily
spend as much on them as you bought them for getting it sorted. Very
like the Great lakes, though. Very pleasant to fly and they have funky
cantankerous engines too! (that's a plus in my book)

Yea..I like the lines and many seem to like the handling. I saw one somewhere with an opposed 4 in it and thought it was
blasphemy...
