Quote From Don Dwiggins Book "Build Your Own Sport Plane" 1975 "Some
of the most beautiful replicas flying today are the result of imaginative
design work by Marcel Jurca, a French engineer with a flair for poetry in
line. According to Kenneth Heit, of Mt. Morris Michigan, who
represents Jurca in this country, he started off early in his career with
a Jodel, adopting his basic design concept for his sleek, low-winged
Tempete and Sirocco homebuilts. From this style of construction he
graduated to scaled "minifighters". Marcel Jurca's replica
planes are works of art in themselves, strictly off-the-cuff amateur
drawings, full of funny cartoons but loaded with all the technical data
you need to perform a sound construction job. Ken Heit foresees the
day when Jurca minifighters will give Curtis Pitts a run for the money in
aerobatic competition. "That's exactly the way Jurca's done it all
up."" A
