What kind of plane is this?

ZLIN is a full scale aircraft manufacturer, like Cessna, and they make lots of different types. I assume you are talking about a 120 size model of one of the full scale ZLINs. You are going to have to give a few more details to get an answer to that question. A picture would be a great help.

here it is

What Whiterock has posted is the new Zlin ... the older one predates Extras and even the Laser 200 I think. Narrow fuse and it has some of the lines of a Miles. Look here for more info ... http://www.moravan.cz/ I love the old Zlin Akrobats. Its almost like a Golden Age classic.

A few years back there is a UK manufacturer who is selling the Zlin Akrobat of about 90"+, it is an ARF and it looked great. Forgot who it is now ...

i wonder if it would make a good sport plane? there's a canadian distributor , i'll e them

WhiteRook - I would love one, I like the older planes like Laser 200, Super Chipmunk, Mile Magister and Zlins. I think it should be a very nice flying sport plane.

One of the guys in our club just built one. Here's the link to his thread...

NITROMODELS has this plane.

It's a Zlin Z-50.

I've also been looking harder and harder at one of Z50s 120 size. Looks like a pretty cool sport/pattern plane with an OS120 in it. It would really be cool if you could do retracts. I've been looking at them on Nitro RC. pretty good buys up there if you carful and don't expect composit quality. Many seem to good weekend sport planes. I'av also got a spare ys110 they that should pull this thing around in pattern work.

I just built the 120 size from nitromodels and put a saito 150 in it and it flew fantastic. landing was butter with flaps. looks fantastic too
