The Fisher Youngster is a Canadian single-seat, conventional landing gear, single-engined, biplane kit aircraft designed for construction by amateur builders. The aircraft was inspired by the German Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister aerobatic aircraft of the 1930s.〔Vandermeullen, Richard: ''2011 Kit Aircraft Buyer's Guide'', Kitplanes, Volume 28, Number 12, December 2011, page 54.

It also qualifies as a US Experimental Light Sport Aircraft. The Youngster's standard empty weight is when equipped with a Rotax 503 engine and it has a gross weight of .〔〔 The aircraft is stressed for +6 and -3.75 g and is suitable for sportsman category aerobatics.〔 The construction of the Youngster is of wood with the fuselage built in a Warren Truss covered with a birch plywood skin. The fuselage employs longitudinal stringers to replicate the Jungmeister's shape. The wings and tail are covered with doped aircraft fabric. The wings feature interplane struts, cabane struts, bottom wing ailerons only and a NACA 2315 airfoil. Like the original Jungmeister upon which it is based, the Youngster has no flaps. The Youngster's main landing gear has bungee suspension. The cockpit can be left open or covered with an optional canopy for cold weather operations. The company claims an amateur builder can complete the aircraft from the kit in 500 hours.〔〔〔 The specified engines for the Youngster include the Rotax 503 two-stroke and the Great Plains Aircraft four-stroke Volkswagen air-cooled engine. Subaru auto conversions of up to and can also be used.〔〔〔〔 By late 2004 20 Youngsters were flying.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fisher Youngster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
