Hinch as posted a load of great links and summaries of some great vintage European freeware aircraft over on his
fs2004.co.uk website, in particular Oliver Fischer's Bucker 131 Jungmann v2 that has just been uploaded to avsim- well worth a look!

As far as I'm concerned the Buecker is great to look at, and great to fly, but a right bloody nightmare to land.
According to the data in load up it's meant to cruise at 175 KPH but seems to reach 200 while climbing out from take-off, makes a Cessna seem pretty gutless.
Four almost perfect landings, (by my standards anyway) were followed by violent veering to the right and a big A over T ending.
I need to go away and think about this. Half my fleet are "tail-draggers" and I thought I had the technique worked out. If this was a German training plane, it may have had some bearing on the result of the war...?
