Doesn't your Jodel have that funky differential braking system, or is
it a homebuilt one?


Homebuilt. Hydraulic heel brakes. Master cylinders are from early
1950's Austin automobiles. Still working.


Cool. Someset, Dorset, A35?

I've only flown one Jodel. It's an amazing airplane. A 1040, I think.
100hp, originally a Potez, but the guy got tired of finding parts so he put
an O-200 in it. It sould actually carry four out of a short field and three
with full fuel which was about 6 hours IIRC. cruised at about 100knots as
well.Why would anyone fly a 150 after having met one of those?
