INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Great Planes Zlin 526
Akrobat ARF! This sport scale model is patterned after the
original Zlin 526 Akrobat which was first seen at airshows
in the 1960’s . The Zlin, along with the famous de Havilland
Chipmunk, paved the road to the modern CAP, Extra, and
Edge aircraft era of today . Like its full-scale counterpart, the
Great Planes Zlin 526 is a good aerobatics trainer and is a
great 3
rd airplane choice for a sport pilot who has mastered
the high-wing trainer and the low-wing sport plane .
If you’re a beginner who is a fan of scale airplanes, we
recommend starting with the Hobbico
® NexStar ™ 46 ARF
trainer (HCAA2025) and then moving on to the Great Planes
Cherokee GP/EP ARF (GPMA1033) sport scale low-wing
airplane before you try the Great Planes Zlin 526 . When
you’re ready for another airplane, consider trying a kit . The
Great Planes CAP 232 40 Kit (GPMA0232) is an easy and
enjoyable build that will reward you with excellent flight
characteristics and the ability to perform high-performance
aerobatic maneuvers .
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
Zlin 526 Akrobat visit the Great Planes web site at www .
greatplanes .com . Open the “Airplanes” link, and then select
the Zlin 526 Akrobat ARF . If there is new technical information
or changes to this model a “tech notice” box will appear in
the upper left corner of the page .

IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can
do to preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid
flying near full-scale aircraft and avoid flying near or over
groups of people .
