Corby Starlet

The Corby CJ-1 Starlet is a single seat, amateur-built aeroplane designed in the 1960s by Australian aeronautical engineer John Corby.

Design and development
The CJ-1 Starlet's structure is primarily wood and finished with fabric. A variety of engine types have been used, including 50 to 80 hp Volkswagen air-cooled engines, the 80 hp Rotax 912UL and the 85 hp Jabiru 2200.

The aircraft is built from plans, although some parts are available as well. Additionally Aircraft Spruce & Specialty offer materials kits for the design.
