Based on the Zlin Z526A that’s been popular since the 60’s and 70’s, the Great Planes Z-526 Zlin Akrobat .46-.70 GP/EP ARF model is a distinctive departure from the many CAPs, Extras and Edges currently found at the flying field. The Zlin is similar in looks and performance to the Super Chipmunk, with a sleek profile and the capability for thrilling aerobatics – equally achievable with a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine or an outrunner brushless motor. The sheeted foam core wing can be built in one or two pieces and the airfoiled tail surfaces are strong and lightweight. With its low parts count and extensive preassembly, the Zlin can be flight-ready in just a few hours. The Great Planes Akrobat features a high-visibility, scale MonoKote trim scheme, with decals included for German registration or U.S. “N” numbers.

• ElectriFly’s RimFire 42-60-480kV outrunner brushless motor delivers plenty of power for sport flight and aerobatics.
• An engine mount is included for installing a 4-stroke or 2-stroke glow engine for added realism and exceptional performance.
• The canopy doubles as an easy-access hatch for the battery compartment; magnets and a latch provide extra security.
• Two sets of decals lets modelers identify their Zlin with either German registration or U.S. “N” numbers.
