Default RE: Zlin 526

Bish et. al.

I am about half way thru a ZLIN-526. Using Robart retracts. Starting to sheet the wings. Fuselage is framed up. I have the fiberglass canopy and cowl from Traplett but was wondering what you were doing with regards to the spinner?

The spinner is sort of unique and so far have not found anything commercially available that looks close.

Pictures you have posted look nice. I plan on using a Saito 91 for power. Have a set of pictures and 3-View from Bob Banka as a documentation baseline. Mounted the aileron servo in the wing, somewhat similar to what you did, except made the mount out of plywood. Will make a servo cover out of a layup of fiberglass on the sheeted lower wing.
