LOOKING FOR ZLIN

sooftwn12 · 03-20-2008, 09:31 PM

Any one know where I can find a Zlin 526 kit, plans, parts, ect??? I have an old Sig Kit but dont care for the foam wings. Thanks

I have a old 1/4 scale Nor Ray Zlin 526 that i have worked on here and there. That i would be willing to sell. I also have a set of robart retracts for it that would be sold with the airplane. Model airplane news did a article on a scratch build of one. when i get home i will look to see what the issue was that they did it in. I know it was several years back. I have always thought it would be fun to build my 1/4 scale one and fly IMAC with it. let me know if you might be interested i can post pics if you want

Zimpro use to have 526 also with foam wings, but it was good flying plane with YS90. 72".
Dick Hansen in Utah use to have kits, dont know if he still have those, he is on the Battery 123 thread.
Me in younger years (30 years a go) still like that plane.

Ill do the best i can with size i havent had the airplane out of the box in some time. From memory the wingspan is 106in" length is around 80-90in i think. was originally designd for a supertiger g-3500 and fixed gear. I am modding it for retracts and just about have one ready to install. I was also going to put a 50cc gasser on it. I estimate the weight to be around 18-20 complete. The fuse wings and tail are all foam and need to be sheeted. I have not ordered any of the wood that for the airplane as it is all sheeted foam. I bought the kit at a swap meet and have fiddled with it here and there. It would be a very fun and easy airplane to build as well as fly. I will try to post pics of the kit tomarrow or sunday as i am at work right now and dont have pics with me
