Status: offline 		Recieved the Zlin the other day. All I can say is WOW! This plane looks awesome.

The covering is tight. Overall it seems very sturdy and well built. I think there is the same less than par hardware, no problem to replace it though.

The landing gear doesn't seem to be as flimsy as others, might even be usable..lol.

The decals are not pre-applied like I seen stated on their website. Which is a plus in my book. Although, I might use them all, it is good to have a choice.

It will be a few weeks before I start the assembly. I hope it flies as good as it looks so far.

After thought: I hope it goes together as good as it looks so far.

Status: offline 		Hope these pics suit you. I'm sure not a photographer. Like I said before, the covering is tight with no wrinkles and the landing gear seems adequate for a change. I am excited about the build. Should start in a few weeks.

Status: offline 		Excellent! Thanks for the photos. I'd like to build one of those but just can't justify yet another plane at the moment. What are you planning to use engine wise?

Probably need to keep that one in the shade during the summer time in that Fla. sun with all the black trim, I think I'd even change the color of the material under and inside the canopy area.

Status: offline 		I haven't been able to justify the last few planes either. Do they need to be justified?

I am going to stick an MVVS .49 in her.

Florida hot? I'm pretty much done by 10:30 in the morning during the summer before it gets too hot.

Go ahead and get you one of these birds Rube, you don't want me to be the only guy with one, do you?

Status: offline 		I kinda like the looks of the Zlin 50 also. Any body got an idea of a, better than good size, power plant for this bird? Or would a .52 be plenty enough?

Mando.......

Oh Yeah, looks like 32 bucks for ship to Southern Ill.

Status: offline 		Got mine on Friday, checked it out, looks good for the money. Fitted up a couple of different engines, os 50sx or any 46 looks like it will fit in the cowl with out cutting (3" height from the mount) don't know about a 52 but os 70fs is too tall at 4.6". I did notice on the front of the cowl it is very thin and has a couple of cracks starting, I will reinforce with glass before assembly.

Status: offline 		OK.....Got me a ZLIN Z50 on the way. Looks like it'll be here Monday or Tuesday. Anybody got any ideas what it needs, or hardware different than what it came with?
I'm think'n maybe hinges, pushrods and the tail end beefed up a bit?

Mando.........
