JODEL D9 BEBE
The Jodel D.9 Bébé is a French single-seat ultralight monoplane, designed by Jean Délémontez for construction by home-builders. Introduced in 1948, over 500 Jodel D9s are thought to have been built.
YOUR KIT
This kit is a laser-cut replica of the original Veron Tru-Flite Series model of a Jodel D9 Bébé. Construction of the model from this kit uses the traditional method of "stick and tissue", that consists of a built up balsa wood skeleton (framework), covered with a tissue skin. The balsa frameworks are built over a plan that is printed at the exact scale of the model, which is in essence a real engineering drawing. Power is provided by rubber strip motor that is wound up before flight. Free flight means just that - once the model is launched, it is on its own. It must follow a predetermined flight path established when the model is initially adjusted for flight or "trimmed". This type of traditional building technique and flying requires a degree of patience and skill, but is extremely rewarding.
