                        http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2012/11/jodel-d-11s-of-new-zealand-1.html

Sir Minty is starting up a Blog on just the Jodel D11's of New Zealand so keep an eye out for it.

 

Once under way I will pop a link into the Blog.

Sir Minty (thank you sir) has sent me a Picture of Charlie Janes Jodel below resting and tired down in a good Blow.

 

A B&W photo of Charlie Janes' D11 ZK-EFK. I don't have a record
of who took it or where it was taken - can you identify the location?
(Hastings?) me I think it maybe Wairoa......

Colours were white with red stripes.

Well have found some pic's of Charlie Janes Jodel ZK-EKF they aren't flash as they are on the cover of his books but at least we have some pic's.

I remember whilst in Tauranga one day ringing him up and saying lets go for a fly after a bit of this and that he said OK (Thanks always Graham) and had a pleasant 45 minutes trucking round the Tauranga area. So really Mr French you are to Blame for my Jodel thing.

Jodel D-18 ZK-JVG

Returning from another flight is the Jodel D.18 ZK-JVG c/n GM05 at Rangiora

Note the flaps and also the change to a two bladed, Brent Thompson, wooden propeller. In fact that is Brent doing the flying, with the builder/owner Graeme Main in the flight engineers position.
See earlier pic with three blade prop

This project was begun by Bevan Chamberlain close to nine years ago. It was picked up by Graeme Main about eighteen months ago and has advanced quickly since then. Here it is having fuel flow test done on its Rotax 912S engine. The propeller is a threee bladed adjustable Woodcomp.
In the background is the VW powered D.18 ZK-JPK2.

An Interesting New Jodel Type - Jodel D 150X ZK-CCD

For all local Jodel fans out there it is a special occurrence when a new type of Jodel is registered in New Zealand. Charlie Kenny of Balclutha has been building his Jodel D 150X for quite a few years, and he registered it on 7 November 2011. The original D 150 Mascaret was designed by Jean Delemontez as a Jodel D 11 replacement, and it first flew in France in 1962.

 But ZK-CCD is not a standard D 150. Charlie told me that it is a one-off design incorporating the good bits from many Jodel models. It has the luggage locker from a D 140, the tailplane from a D 18, the rudder from the D 150 and the wing airfoil from a D 18, but with a bigger wing, and it has split flaps that drop down from the trailing edge. Charlie has also made the cockpit wider at 44 inches, and he has moved the seat back 3 inches and sloped the seat-back to 30 degrees, giving a very roomy cockpit with great headroom. And it features a FU 24 windscreen.

But that is not all that makes ZK-CCD unique, because it has a diesel motor! The motor is a Peugeot 1.9 litre turbo-diesel that produces 97 HP. The radiator is located in the inboard leading edge of one wing, and the battery is in the other wing, and the fuel tank is in the fuselage. Altogether a very interesting sport aircraft.

ZK-CCD is not the first Jodel that Charlie Kenny has built. He previously built Jodel D 9 ZK-AKR, "the Clydevale Phantom".
