Jungmeister is and was an amazing aircraft. It basically wasn't until the 60's when it was bettered by the Pitts Special. Both Jungmann and Jungmeister are many times referred as Stradivarius of aeroplanes. Habicht is in the same class when it comes to aerobatic gliders.

Christoph Zahn and his Habicht in HD: https://youtu.be/MEyuamN2Sn4. He performs beautiful flowing displays.

German Bucker & Funk are starting to produce Jungmeister quick build kits powered by a new radial with a much lower take off weight than the original. It is a kit of course but the price is still a bargain considering that an original can cost well over 200k€:
