Only the gold color valve covers poke through the cowl cheek. The use of this engine also forced me to place the cowling well beyond the recommended placement, due to the length of the engine. It still makes a good fit, just don't drill out the recommended mounting holes in the cowl. A McDaniel Model 403 remote plug adapter is used on the glow plug to prevent the necessity of putting a big hole in the cowl for the glow plug connector. Du-Bro super low bounce wheels round out the aircraft.
Finished weight is just over nine pounds, with four ounces of lead in the tail to balance.
Our Saito 150 fired right up and a quick check confirmed that she was ready to go. With the application of throttle, the Bucker Jungmann needed hardly a bump on the rudder to hold her straight, and went airborne in about 80'. Only a tad of trim was required to get her inline, and then we put her through the paces. Elevator response is quite smooth and positive. Although the amount of recommended throw does not appear to be much, it is plenty for what we need to do.
