The Volmer VJ-22 "Sportsman" is a two-place, side by side, closed cabin, highwing monoplane, amphibious flying boat. The original Sportsman was completed December 1958. The rigid, corrosion proof hull is made of 1/16 inch and 3/32 inch aircraft mahogany plywood with 1/4 inch plywood at the step for maximum strength and covered with fiberglass for added protection. Numerous testing from calm water to five foot swells in the open sea have proven the design to be both extremely airworthy and seaworthy. Wings are wood spar and ribs, fabric covered. It takes off from water at sea level in about 20 seconds. The VJ-22 is powered by a Continental C-85, starter and gen. It has a cruising speed of 85 mph and stalls at 45 mph.

This means that the spruce for the wings is not included.
The wood for the wings is not included in either kit. This wood would need to be ordered separately according to the plans requirements.
The spruce kit just has all of the cut spruce for the kit, minus the wings. The fuselage kit has spruce and metal required for the kit. We believe the fuselage kit has everything you need less the wings, but you would want to compare the kit contents to your plans.
