Finally ready to enter in production the new engine cowling for the Shock Ultra. The new original design, will integrate the landing light spot and one naca air intake (operated by the pilot on demand) , for the 915 equipped planes. All next Shock Ultra will get for free this new cowling and later this year a “full carbon” version will be available on demand .
Our Spanish dealer is pleased to announce that the first Shock Ultra was sold in Spain and that Zlin Aviation will start the process to get the airplane certified. This is just following the growing demand of serious Stol planes around the world ..

In the last few months a big effort has been made to accelerate the delivery of new aircrafts and it is obviously planned for the next months too. The new Rotax 915 has caused recently some delays to all manufacturers including Zlin Aviation but soon all will be solved.
We decided to reorganize the production line for the future. Starting from now some products will be discontinued (but we will deliver spare parts and assistance of course without problems for the existing planes).
We are really glad to have achieved a new step about the quality of our final assembled and ready to fly planes. This choice will become a free of charge investement for all our customers .From last December in fact, all the ready to fly planes will get a complete wiring harness system (electrical) made by the Italian company Mirmat. This company is already the official supplier of the famous Tecnam, Pipistrel and Alenia Aeronautica and works in different sectors including the most important Italian telecommunication services provider “TIM”. The quality is their and our main target..
We are glad to confirm the final delivery via container of one beautiful yellow Shock Cub to South Africa, market followed by our dealer Mr.Craig Lang. Soon he and his customer will prepare for first local flight, this nice plane, fitted with the new Beringer 10″ wheels and brakes and 31″ tires.The Rotax 914 turbo was delivering nice performances in combination with the 3 blade Kiev propeller ..Another Shock Cub very similar will be prepared this summer for another Lang’s customer, this time coming from Namibia.
The plane is finally flying with a special livery and a customized Rotax engine. It seems that customers are particularly impressed by the performances during short landings and about unique stall characteristics, looking at first reports…
Some news finally on the table after a while. We were very busy in the last period (let’s say last few months), increasing production, making training for many new workers arrived in the last months, finding new systems and technology to make better our job (for example we will start to use an innovative painting system during next week), producing new carbon accessories/parts and moulds, testing new items (from shock absorbers to new slats etc.) and planes, following certifications processes in 2 Countries, always taking in mind the new rules coming soon in Europe, planning and starting the big move to the new operative base (1.000 square meters planned only for the “final delivery” step) that will be opened soon inside a nice and privat airport near Zlin (Czech). All this and much more is coming (new dealers for example just joined us from Laos, China, Finland, Sweden and La Reunion and will be announced soon while we are discussing with other potential dealers from Ireland and Chile).
