Description
Hello,
I am selling my Vj-23 motor glider. Build in 2013.
History of this type aircraft is extraordinary.
Back to1975 David Cook build high performance hand glider VJ-23 with
9 hp chainsaw engine and flew a cross English Channel.That time was big achievement.

I have met David, received original drawings and build VJ in 2013 and painted in same colour..It costs me to build £2000 for materials and 700 hours.
Tested myself.After some test flights I realised that engine is not powerful enough and is climbing rate is low. Only 125CC approx 10hp and 35 kg propeller trust.
You can see on you tube.
