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?

Mine's a D-11. All wood, fabric cover. A-65 Continental. 85 kt
cruise. Two seats. Good STOL airplane unless it's a high DA day and at
gross. 15 gallons and 4 or 5 GPH, so not a lot of range.
Even this one makes a 150 look anemic.


Yeah, I've seen a D12 fly, I think, take off and it was amazing. It was
over fifty feet high at less than 800' of runway and that was with two guys
on and only a light breeze. I beleive it had an A-65. All of those little
wooden French airplanes are really nice. I always fancied an Emeraude or a
SIPA.
