You cannot ask the internet about the 1929 Junkers A50 without getting lots of pictures of the 2022 Junkers A50 Junior. Yes, there apparently is this company in Germany that builds the original Junkers A50 as an Ultralight Aircraft, be it with a few modern touches like a Limbach ULM motor, a Garmin LCD flight display, a modern constant-speed propeller and most important an ULM parachute rescue system. And if you know how to make lots of money with SimplePlanes YouTube videos, you can actually buy and fly one in real life.

Again: cruising speed is 100mph. Be careful not to brake too hard on landing, Activate1 folds the wings, so don't push it while flying and Activate2 launches the rescue parachute in case you DID push Activate1 while flying.

Here are some glamour shots from the company's website.
