Looks like the Zlin might be a "Hangar Queen" . . . 

I found a problem with the firewall. It was starting to sag under the weight of the motor, so i beefed it up with some gussets and braces.

I also had to extend the battery platform to achieve a better balance.

Someday I may try to fly this thing... 

Lectric_high; I checked out your build log. Prospects do not look good for the longevity of this plane.

	Yep, you lost your front end, the 2 of us lost our tail feathers. I'd say we were the QC dept for HK on this one. Well guys take it back to the drawing board.
