Review
The Top Gun Bücker Jungmann was reviewed in the February 2003 issue of Radio Control Model Flyer magazine and attracted the comment: "FLYING - in one word, terrific! I'm a sucker for bipes, and the combination of those swept back top wings, long streamlined nose and the purr of the Laser made for a very pleasant experience."
