I'll tell you why.....

'cos the Jungmann rolls faster,and has a decent rudder. It flicks wonderfully and the controls are fantastic.

Don't get me wrong, I LUUUURRVE the Stampe with a passion, and have spent many years turning them upside down but for aeros, the Jungmann just has the edge..

BUT, the undercarriage on the Jungmann is comparatively weaker than the Stampe, and so is the tailwheel. On the Tigre engined versions, it is difficult to get a true 3 pointer due to a forward C of G, but with practice its no problem. And the original wobble pump is a piece of turd, but most sensible owners fit Christen pumps..

But I'm torn between the Stampe and the Jungmann.... You can keep the Tiger - it's a pile of poo compared to both of them
