The Jurca MJ-8 1-Nine-0 is a sport aircraft designed in France in the mid 1970s as a replica of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 and marketed for homebuilding.[1] It is one of many wooden homebuilt designs from Romainian born designer Marcel Jurca. Jurca was a Henschel Hs 129 pilot in WWII who started designing aircraft after building a Jodel[2] Plans for two versions were produced, the MJ-8, at 3/4 scale, and the MJ-80, at full-scale. Construction throughout is of wood, and the builder may choose to complete the aircraft with either a single seat or two seats in tandem. The plans were marketed by Falconar and later Jurca Plans West.[3][4]
