Jodel D9 “Honey Bee”

$NZD11,990

This Jodel D9 “Honey Bee” is a well-presented single-seat classic, first flown in January 1984 and regularly flown in recent years around the Kaipara Flats and Warkworth area. Always hangared and maintained to a high standard, this aircraft offers simple, honest tailwheel flying in a lightweight microlight category.

Powered by a 160cc VW conversion engine with dual ignition (2 Lucas SR4 magnetos), the engine was overhauled with new heads and reconditioned magnetos approximately 100 hours ago. Featuring a wider and deeper cockpit along with Taylor Monoplane-style undercarriage and tailwheel configuration, landings are straightforward and forgiving.

A true “honey to fly,” ideal for recreational pilots wanting affordable, pure stick-and-rudder flying.
