DB Jodel


Recommended Posts

If the truth is known it’s been a pain in the ????. 
The Drawing is not the best, with some formers out of centre,  and no available canopy don’t help.

The guy who designed it made his own canopy, clever bugger is all I can say.

I have put servo’s in the wings, as the bellcrank didn’t look that clever.

I have a feeling not many were ever built from the plan, I haven’t seen another in our area.

I wouldn’t build another, too much hassle. 

I have managed to buy  a DB Sports built frame from EBay, which is years old, so that’s my winter project, 

which I expect will be a total strip down. But I have one so that’s a start, just hope DB has enough wood

for spares.

To conclude this thread, my Jodel is no more.

after fighting with it over several flights it has gone to the great hanger in the sky, 

or in fact into a black sack for disposal.

I don’t say this about many models but I’m not sorry to see it go.

I hope I have better luck with the DB Sports version that was delivered this morning…….
