Volmer VJ-22 Sportsman
The Volmer VJ-22 Sportsman is an American homebuilt, two-seat high-winged monoplane of wood and fabric construction. Using the wings from an Aeronca Champion, the aircraft's flying boat hull is made of mahogany plywood, waterproofed with fiberglass cloth.
The aircraft's single engine, normally a pusher of between 85 hp (63 kW) and 100 hp (75 kW), is mounted on pylons above the wing centre section. The engine can also be mounted in tractor configuration and engines of up to 135 hp (101 kW) have been used successfully. A retractable tailwheel undercarriage is provided. The pilot and passenger sit side by side under an enclosed canopy, and are provided with dual controls.
This aircraft is largely complete, with various spares, plans and books available.
An agent for Sport Aircraft Sales has inspected the aircraft on site, and provided photographs, although the aircraft is sold as a project - as is where is. Wings and horizontal tailplane parts appear available but not fully constructed.
