The pilots must have found the asymmetric view out of the cockpit very strange until they got used to it. 

Maybe the owner was a seat of the pants flyer.

Found a photo:

These have always been regarded as a GOOD trainer having things like ailerons on all wings etc If you care to look closely at how far forward and long the Undercarriage is it's going to affect ease of keeping it straight on the ground. I wonder how many are still in existence?  Nev

There’s a Bucker Jungmann at Serpentine in WA that is flown regularly.

I look at the wheel spats on that thing and wonder.... why?

Weird looking contraption. It must be like flying a broomstick. Maybe the nose spat stops the pilot being splattered with mud on soft strips? 

Me too, back in 1976. In pieces in the back of the hangar at that time.

I read somewhere that they couldn’t fly it these days, mainly because the fuel it used is not obtainable any more.

Looks like somebody had the wing plans upside down when they assembled it. 

...or 113 mph, not 13
