Zlin's in France?

[Zio Nick]

Hi Gents,

Today I am trying to gather information about flying Zlin's (326, 142 or 242) in France, around the area of Bordeaux.
I will be there next year from March and I would like to organize some training along 3 months.
Thanks in advance,
ZN

By Google search I found this school (http://www.bordeaux-aviation.com/) that operates a 326, but still no trace of Z142 or Z242L...:ugh:

Nico, just to clarify, 326 is totally different from 142/242 - it's part of the Trener (26-126-226-326-526-726) tailwheel series, with fairly different flight characteristics.

Thanks Anton, I got the point. Nevertheless I need to get a taildragger check-out, so why not on a Zlin, since I am going to become familiar with them soon? ;)
Of course it will be extremely beneficial if I can get acquainted with the 142 or the 242 before approaching my own one....

Anyway, it seems there are no Zlin's operating in Bordeaux area, except for a very expensive 326...
