Zlin Aviation Savage Cub ↗Research-based aircraft background

Zlin Aviation Savage Cub

Zlin Aviation's Savage Cub uses a lightweight braced high-wing airframe, tandem cabin and tailwheel landing gear for recreational flying. Its layout follows the familiar Cub pattern.

The later Norden and specialised Shock Ultra share the family outline, with different wing, engine and landing-gear developments.
