The « Jeunesse » is originally a hang-glider that could be easily be built by any aviation amateur to experiment basic flight pleasures.
The B.A.P.A. example was built by Daniel Pletinckx who was very active with aviation modelling. He modified the « Jeunesse » with a seated position for the pilot and the possibility to fit a small engine on the nose. This one was never fitted.
