RE: TOC Zlin 526 by Bonnema/Lowe
Rusty,
what do you expect the AUW of these models to be? Are 90 2-strokes going to haul the mail or just the flyers? 9 lbs or less?
More questions: the DB retracts you mention are of conventional (Pro-line) type I assume. Mr. Bonemma used scale retracts with them rotating into the wing (hard to believe they fit). Would Corsair rotating type retracts be more appropriate for the Zlin?
By the way, a plug-in wing design as with the Akromaster would also be an interesting option.
I think I just found the answer to both those questions/ideas. I plug-in wing with retracts is somewhat more complicated I suppose. Interesting that the wheels just retract partially.
David.
P.S. Here's the MA article cleaned up just a tad. The center portion of the left page is missing.
