Safety Alert n.10 . The small amount of customers involved have been already infomed. You can have a look in the Owner’s area section, under “Technical documents”.

Working with the Czech LAA, we are now planning the last steps before first test flights.
We worked a lot during the last months, trying to design something special. We can promise that we didn’t forget anything : new ergonomy, new fuselage, new metal wings, new design…

Time to introduce and welcome some new dealers that have reached us in the recent times. The demand of STOL planes is growing worldwide and we are trying to enlarge the company accordingly (even designing new solutions and new models).

All Savage aircraft owners are invited to read carefully our latest Safety Alert n°09. You can check for it in the Owner Area, under the “technical documents” section. We want to be sure that all customers will perform a specific control before their next flight . If any defects will be found, expecially for planes operated near the sea or water in general (in the specific case some corrosion on some wires sleeves) pls contact Zlin Aviation sro for further instructions at this address : customer.service@zlinaero.com.

Valdez, the world’s most famous STOL (Short Take-Off & Landing) competition is just finished.
It seems that our customer Gary Green has performed the shortest landing with his Shock Cub even if we were not able to compete at 100% in take off, with planes as the famous Lil Cub (heavily modified Piper Cub, winner at Valdez during last 2017 and 2018 and holder of two World’s record) with more than 180 hp compared to our 115 hp (Rotax 914). But then when it is time to land short, the Shock Cub has shown to be the right “tool”, being at the end, just a standard, unmodified product. Compliments Gary, very nice job..

This time we are really going to the “edge” …
We are very glad to announce that we officially started our cooperation with the well known Norwegian company “Edge Performance”.We decided to install one of their engines on our next prototype that will fly this Summer with our new wings recently introduced at AERO. We expect great things by the combination between their “power” and our “sophisticate aerodinamic”..It will be an interesting Summer for sure..

After over 8 months of hard work and design submissions to the UK LAA we are excited to unveil our new Partnership with Synergy Aircraft based in Warwickshire, for the UK and Ireland. The Shock Cub will be available in Quickbuild kit format initially. For those of you who want to get into the Air sooner no problem, we have developed and Approved a full Kit Build Assist Program in association with Synergy Aircraft which will operate from their workshop. Our first Demo Shock Cub is due for Delivery in June, we have a very special paint Scheme in mind for this aircraft, to celebrate our arrival into the UK…

Another great AERO exhibition (Friedrichshafen-Germany) has just finished. More than 32.000 visitors , four days, full immersion, in what is considered the best European fair of the sector. We want to thank all our customers, dealers, visitors.. it was a great occasion to meet and speak about the future.

Just started the ground tests with the new Rotax 915…We will show soon at AERO, another beautiful Shock Cub, equipped with the same engine and a very nice Garmin instrument panel..Stay tuned.

We invite you to visit our booth (B2-415) from 10th to 13th April at AERO (Germany), the European international global show for general aviation. We will be there as usual and we will show some new important projects under development. Let’s say…”something really innovative for our company”.
