Now Bill Izard has been kind enough to send me some pic's of the rebuild of Jodel D-11 (ZK-EDR in a previous life. New rego not decided yet) and has done a pretty fine job by the look of it.
He has finished the wing just needs covering and have modified the seating area so it more comfortable and repaired the broken back end. engine has been ECI`d and EFI also taken 5 degrees of washout out of the wings more like the F11 now so should cruise at a higher speed with out effecting it bottom end motor will produce about 10-15 more hp too.
Motor is a 0200 and I will be putting into the microlight range so i will be calling it something else like Yodel 10 (could be in for some sly comments there :0) or something . with mauw of 1300 lbs.

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.
Some more shots of ZK-MMB one at Raglan and other ....?
I do know that snout sticking into the Picture is Sonarei 2 ZK-SNW

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
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 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".
