ZK-EER is a Masterton Based machine has been for quite a bit.


EER used to live down the Hangar row at Masterton From EDR and also Minicab EEF
EEF is still Stratford based and was stable mate with EDR .


Now below is Graham French's Really nice ZK-DYB
She is For Sale and I can tell you she is a sweet machine.
$37000 and she is yours. 

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.

Selection of Jodels doing the Landing and Take Off 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.
