Zlin Savage

[Guest CAVOK]

Does anyone have any details about Australian dealership of the Zlin Aviation Savage (called an Aeroscout in New Zealand).

 

The Savageis a tandem seating, high wing with folding wings built in the Czech Republic in kit form or ready to fly. It looks alot like a Piper Cub or Rans S7. (see picture below)

 

I can't find an aircraft listed on the VH - or the RA-Aus register. There was a dealership in New Zealand, who has been helpful, but I can't get details about costs in Aussie dollars, importing etc.

 

If you want more info, check out www.aerosavage.com/

 

Any help appreciated, thanks.

G'day Trevor,

 

The aircraft you are asking about can be supplied from the factory fully built. It would cost at least $80,000 AUD. That should include Shipping andGST. You would need to find out about certification here first. I may be able to assist you in regard to this as I have gone through the process previously. Let me know if you want any guidance.

 

Regards....Gerry....

This A/C is so close to what I would build that there is no difference. I would appreciate beingprovided with information on it. Looks like it's Lycoming powered. N...

The spec's I have give the engine options as the Rotax 912/912s or Jabiru 2200. I would imagine that the price is for a 912 ( 80hp ) installation. The Kit price, delivered would be over $40,000 AUD.Although the book I have does not describe how complete the kit is, I doubt if it includes engine, prop. or instruments.

Thanks Gerry. I'll remember your offer of assistance re registration of new type if I go ahead with this aircraft.

 

Hi facthunter, the website listed above has some information about the kit version of the Savage.There are also some great videos to watch. Finding actual Australian pricing is a challenge. I'm in the process of contacting the company in the Czech Republic, so if I find any information I'll send it on to you. There is a dealer in New Zealand, but that means paying for shipment to NZ, then shipping across the ditch to OZ!! I haven't been able to get any pricing from the dealer as yet. Zlin have now developed a new version called the Cruiser, which looks pretty cool too!

 

Good luck with your search.

Thanks for that CAVOK. That company have been building aeroplanes for a long time, so it might be something Quite out of the box. I wouldn't want to contemplate the double shipping proposition, there would have to be some way around that, in this day & age N......

I am 100% fluent in Czech language.

 

Just in case you need something.

 

The buggers up there do pretty good iron works, but would not learn English seriously.:clown:

I think this is the australian dealer for the savage cub http://www.mcp.com.au/

 

I calculated a 51% kit with 912 at about $58000 AUD, but there's a cost calculator on the website. Does anyone else know anything about these a/c?
