The plane is finally flying with a special livery and a customized Rotax engine. It seems that customers are particularly impressed by the performances during short landings and about unique stall characteristics, looking at first reports…

Some news finally on the table after a while. We were very busy in the last period (let’s say last few months), increasing production, making training for many new workers arrived in the last months, finding new systems and technology to make better our job (for example we will start to use an innovative painting system during next week), producing new carbon accessories/parts and moulds, testing new items (from shock absorbers to new slats etc.) and planes, following certifications processes in 2 Countries, always taking in mind the new rules coming soon in Europe, planning and starting the big move to the new operative base (1.000 square meters planned only for the “final delivery” step) that will be opened soon inside a nice and privat airport near Zlin (Czech). All this and much more is coming (new dealers for example just joined us from Laos, China, Finland, Sweden and La Reunion and will be announced soon while we are discussing with other potential dealers from Ireland and Chile).

Alaska’s Flying Cowboy youtube channel.. Mr. Gary Green has just released a new video showing the beauty of the Alaskan territory. Sure many of you, will remember him flying at Valdez last year. He got the permission to fly with his new plane just arrived, only few hours before the exhibition and still he performed very well .

The past year was very successfull for Zlin Aviation. And some changes became for this reason, simply mandatory. Last Autumn, we have taken the decision to almost double the production capacity of our company, due to the large number of planes sold worldwide.
