The Japanese-built Bucker Jungmann captured by the British on test with ATAIU (the Allied Technical Air Intelligence Unit) still in RAF markings and with Japanese tail marking B2-21. Initially twenty-one aircraft were supplied by Germany, including two Jungmeisters. Licence-built were 339 Navy K9W1 built by Watanabe (which later became Kyushu) and 1037 Army Ki-86 built by Kokusai, all to military contracts. The Allied code name was Cypress in line with naming trainers after trees, a bit of a coincidence since the Japanese name for the K9W1 was Momiji (= Maple)

The Taylorcraft normally needs no dihedral and it is created in flight only when the pistons of the air-oil cylinders extend under increased loading from gusts or pilot input. Here 2 helpers push up the wingtips to show the dihedral effect.

Close-up of one of the air-oil cylinders on the single attachment of the 2 wing struts. It is in the extended position which allowed the wingtip to move up a maximum of 30 inches. A gust under one wing affected that wing only, keeping the aircraft laterally level with no need for aileron action by the pilot.
