Thanks for the kind words 526 havn,t flown the new one yet a combination of work,weather and airfield state(I don,t like getting my toys as dirty as I used to)!!. Of interest to you my friends will have their Zlin 226 back from a complete rebuild at the factory shortly effectively a new aeroplane at a very low price.That straight 6 engine sounds as good as a Merlin pure music.Keep the ball in the middle!!!!!.
