X-Plane 9 Zlin Z 526 AFS. The Zlin Z 526 AFS "Akrobat Special" was developed by Moravan (Czechoslovakia) in the 1970's as a continuation of the legendary Zlin Trener series. It was a worthy competitor at the end of the golden age of smooth and elegant classic aerobatics. The Zlin Z 526 AFS is one-seat, low wing monoplane designed specifically for aerobatic purposes. It is powered by a 132 kW (180 hp) inverted air cooled 6-cylinder Avia M137A engine and the Avia V503A automatic propeller. It has semi-retractable main gear and steerable tail wheel. Maximum permitted G-loads for aerobatics are +7.0/-4.5. By Ivan Smilauer.
