Restoration of a Bucker Bestmann; Photos

Hey all,

Back when I did the Bucker Bestmann, which turned into Operation Valkyrie, a gentleman in Germany was helping me with technical questions and details on the airframe and engine. His name is Ralf and he has a Bucker Bu-181 and has been restoring it for 5 years now. He emailed me yesterday to say its nearing completion. I thought I would share the pictures with you all to show you the actual plane that alot of my help came from on the FS model.

Hey Mason,

That is the infamous Hirth inverted 4 aircooled aero engine. They can also be found in the famous Bucker Jungmann biplanes, (long nose versions of course).


Cool!

Now we need a Bucker in FSX
