A personal note.

ZK-EDR fly's again Whoo Hoo.

Russel Woods of Christchurch built the first one the D-11 (amoung other builds) which was an absolute honey of a a machine.

The new EDR is a D-18 a very nice looking machine. So here she is with a comparison of the original EDR.

EDR seen here with previous owner Bill McWilliam in the T-51. EDR's tend to keep good company....... :0)

Happier times with big Bro WWM T-51 Mustang

2010-11-07T10:46:00.005+13:00

It is great sadness I advise that ZK-EDR passed away on the 24/10/2010.

On approach to RWY 27 at Stratford we hit such severe sink at 100foot and about the same out from the Runway we decended into a hedge full power didn't stop the sink. Power was pulled to idle as we hit the Hedge and we were rotated around and landed backwards. We vacted in less than 10 seconds.

We had done around 200 hours together since getting her in June 2008 and been over Mt Taranaki/Egmont around 85 times taking countless people up and over. She so enjoyed sharing the Joy of flight with people.

My Jodel girl looked after us till the end as there was not a drop of fuel spilt and she had full tanks. We fell of the hedge and were probably doing 10 knots when we contacted the ground. We walked away no injuries at all to either Gary or myself.

Farewell faithful friend gone well before your time. Great memories and Flying ........

Jodel ZK-EDR sunning herself in the late winter Sun

2010-07-15T12:22:00.003+12:00

Was able to get up over the Mountain in the ole Jodel give her a good decent run. My Pax for the first trip was Vicki J the Property manager for the Stratford District Council. I thought what better way to to show her what the Club and us Pilots are all about and why we do it. Also she was able to get jolly fine look at the Aerodrome etc from altitude. She was smiling so must have been a good one and it was super smooth absolutely outstanding day.

There was one dude on the Mountain Summit around 1215.

My friend Heather also arrived later in the day around 1600 so off we went again. What can one say never tire of it. 9000ft and again super smooth.

one more pic frm Raglan

2009-11-08T10:06:00.003+13:00

Trucked up to Raglan Blacksands 09 for a look see and glad to advise that the Jodels out numbered every other particular class in model 9 D-11's Whoo Hoo.

WX was a bit cool at times and Vis wasn't that flash and wind was constant all day very unlike Raglan.

Great to have a chat to the Jodel Clan find what they havev been doing to there rides and finding out the histories a nd a war stories etc.

2009-08-16T11:26:00.002+12:00

EDR against the Central Plateau Mountains.

JSC based in New Plymouth ( Shares Hangar space with Yaks ,Vampire,L-39 etc) was in for a visit with John Street. Has just had top overhaul done and engine painted in a nice Gold as one would expect for a ROLLS ROYCE POWERED MACHINE.

2009-08-16T11:19:00.002+12:00

Whilst in Feilding was taken for a ride in Peters Jodel RNR a Franklin powered machine of 125hp. No different flys like a Jodel but goes up like a rocket. I had taken Peter for ride in EDR when they were at NP a while back. Very nice machine thanks Peter.
Some picks up by the Manawatu Gorge and the Windmills heaps of windmills. Hows that for an Airstrip then.

Peter has done a Mod and moved the Sloping Rear bulk head back to the next former and there is now a HUGE amount of space there. Me I am thinking about it.......

2009-08-16T11:06:00.002+12:00

EDR has a bit of attitude now (didn't it before) check out the new tail art.

EDR just chilling in the Hangar.

EDR in amoungst some rather exciting company.

2009-08-16T10:58:00.002+12:00

Couple shots of EDR in aviating mode taken from Glyn in his 701 JLZ .

2009-02-13T12:00:00.002+13:00

Some pic's from over Mt Taranaki/Egmont on a Twilight flight absolutely Magic. 9000 Feet.

My fastest time up over the Mountain was 16 minutes the worst 27 Minutes. The fastest time now is 10 minutes on Wed.

2009-02-13T11:50:00.003+13:00

Had a cover made for EDR looks quite spiffing and had it's first use in anger whilst at Hastings and worked really well the cockpit was nice and cool on taking the cover off.

The cover was made at Barsal based at Te Kowhai. Best as I found to fly in and get measured as every planes slightly different. The patterns for Jodel covering they had already didn't match mine. They have done brilliant job and great crew. http://www.flytekowhai.co.nz/

2009-02-09T10:49:00.002+13:00

A nice shot taken by Barry Russell from Napier at the Hawkes Bay Flyers RC field at Awatoto. I did a fly round before landing at Bridge Pa (Hastings Official name).

2008-12-30T13:30:00.005+13:00

Saturday flew up to Raglan for a look and to check out Krippners Strip near Phironga also heres a pic of Taharoa Sands Strip on a Calm day. A Jodel Relative arrived and parked next to us whilst in Raglan.

Me Mate Grant on the way home to Stratford looks quite relaxed about it all.

We also ventured down to the Motorcycle racing in Wanganui Boxing days but didn't get any pics there.

2008-12-24T12:45:00.001+13:00

More Pic's

2008-12-24T12:39:00.003+13:00

Some pic's of EDR around Mt Taranaki 8500 foot took 20 minutes to get up there at 65 knots.

Absolutely Magic.

Gained my Rating on the Jodel with Brett Emeny on Monday 22/12/2008 here he is flying the catalina (Is he a happy Camper or What) which I scored a ride in after doing the Jodel rating if ya get the Chance to fly in her DO IT.

2008-12-19T12:55:00.003+13:00

Well the ELT issue has been sorted and her 100 hourly and ARA done.

Have been getting checked out by Brett Emney local Warbird and YAK driver amoung other things thats been a hoot.

Had a fly round the district for about 3 hours yesterday to give her a nice long run and get her warmed up burn any crap outa her as had been run up only with the odd fly. Done about the Same hours since I had her in the last couple days Whoo Hoo.

2008-10-07T12:34:00.006+13:00

Here are some pic's of the internals and that pesky ELT. The new ones Aerial comes out the end so that could be interesting.

2008-08-05T00:53:00.002+12:00

Took a couple pic's of the internals of EDR for reference and to see what was in there. Really just a big Model Aircraft especially the Structure quite amazing when one thinks about it so simple but oh so Strong.

2008-07-24T19:10:00.002+12:00

Here's a pic of the panel in EDR. I think it is quite well set out and not to fussy.

I replaced the Stop watch Bill had as I had a talking Stop watch which I use in the Modeling I do. It counts down and every 15 minutes it tells you where it's at then does a count down in increments when it reaches a minute should be interesting to see how it works in practice.

2008-07-23T22:10:00.003+12:00

I do beleive that is EDR leading the 727 there.

The quote I found with the Picture.....

Taken at RNZAF Ohakea, March 22nd, 1998 In the queue for departure at the end of the Open day. I thought this looked kind of funny lining up behind a couple of homebuilt Jodels

2008-07-23T21:53:00.003+12:00

A couple more of Jodel D-11 ZK-EDR arriving at Stratford and yours Truly with the Keys. :0)

Only took 46 years to get to this point. Oh what a feeling............

Was out taking shots of her today alround with access panels off as want a record of what goes where and how it was etc about 200 photo's I think so could take a while.
