RC Zlin 526 Maiden Flight, Valach 120 Inline Electron Retracts. Scale 40%. Power - VM 120 I2-4T Inline. Multiplex Radio. Builder = Paul B. Scratch Build.
+kubawer123 Hi Andrew, the model was built from an old set of plans I had, which was blown up to 40%. Cowl and deckings are pulled from fibreglass moulds I made. Along with the canopy which was the biggest challenge because of its size. After starting the build, I trawled the internet looking for colour schemes. When I came across SP-WER, I knew it was the one. I followed up with ZLÍN-AVION SERVICE Czech Republic and they were kind enough to send on walk-around photos of the plane. The video above is the first flight of the model and it flew with little trim changes needed. Just waiting on the weather to improve now to get a few more flights before the rest of the scale details gets added. The Zlin 526 is one of my favourite aircraft :)
