Could you provide more information on the airfoil and incidence changes?

I increased incidence to 3 degrees instead of 1.
I decreased high of airfoil on the end of the wing...
I hope that its clear..😀

Fitting the wings to the fuselage. Inside the fuselage, the spars are joined and the balsa pieces are overlapped.

Closing the lower part of the fuselage. The pilot tried out the new machine for the first time. 😂

Next job is Zlin big fillets. First of all I made paper templates. I spent many time with this job...😠

[Jiri Pavlicek]

Followed by the production of balsa fillets and fitting to the fuse,👍🏻

[Jiri Pavlicek]

The same job from the bottom side...

[Jiri Pavlicek]

Significant for this aircraft are its typical wing stamping. These are on both the upper and lower sides of the wing. The stamping are equipped with both flaps and ailerons.
 I made it from small strips of tissue...

Thanks for the information on the incidence and airfoil changes, Jiri.

I think your pilot would be proud    - it's a very impressive build.

I tried to assemble Zlín for the first time on my table!😁✌🏻

The balancing surfaces on the elevator and wing are made of paper.

Propeller made from 1,5 mm balsa and bamboo sticks.
Exhaust pipes are made from al tubes..

Beautiful structure and covering! It looks very lightweight.
