I flew the Jungmann several times. The Skyote looks a lot like the
Jungmann. Don't know how heavy it is, but it looks like a sweet flying
airplane.

Yes, the designer was allegedly going for a sort of Rose Parakeet clone
that handled like a Jungmeister.

Probably the finest all around and balanced acro airplane I've ever
been
around in my time would be the Jungmeister. Bevo of course flew one
and
I can't think of anything he couldn't and didn't do with it.

I'd love to fly one. Even a Jungmann. There is one nearby that gets
rented out I must go and try sometime.

This new breed of mid wings with full span ailerons have to be a blast
to fly. Too bad I missed them. They bring a whole new world of inertia
coupling maneuvers to the table that we never even dreamed of.


They're prety cool, but don't appeal to me as much as the older stuff.
Having said that if I tried old and new together I'm sure I'd prefer a
Sukhoi to a Zlin 526 or a Jungmeister at the end of the day, but I know
which one I'd be itching to try first.

I remember the first Lomcevak I did. It was in a Pitts S1S. I set it
up
on a 45 up line outside snap. When it broke, I just hung on and had
absolutely no idea where the damn thing would end up. I remember
thinking right after I recovered the airplane that there would be no
way
in hell to predict exactly how the airplane would recover.
Later on of course this maneuver became routine.
But the guys today in the mid wings do things with an airplane that I
would have said would have been impossible 20 years ago.
Progress. Ain't it wonderful :-))))


Cool. I tried to do Lomcevoks in a Stearman but there was no way it
would do it. For one thing it lost power as sone as I pushed. Also tried
a few times in the Decathlon and got nothing more than a messy outside
snap.
I have managed them with models, though. I had a bipe that would do them
all from the 4deg entry forward tumbles to the vertical conicals (which
must be a blast in a real airplane. A bit like getting flushed down the
toilet)

Anyhow, just thinking about doing spins is giving me a headache these
days!
