It is best known for its training and acrobatic planes. \u003cp\u003eThe company was founded by the Bata family who still operate a worldwide chain of shoe stores called Bata. Prior to WWII Moravan had superior airframe designs to similar planes in the luftwaffe. The Zlin XII famously outperformed the Junkers Ju-86 in a performance and endurance show shortly before the outbreak of war. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e When Germany invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938 the latest aircraft, the Zlin XIII was secretly sent to Yugoslavia to avoid it falling into German hands, but the plot was discovered, the plane was captured and the German occupying forces produced over 700 planes based on the XIII design bearing German luftwaffe markings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e After the fall of socialism in 1989 this light aircraft manufacturer saw government funding reduced to zero overnight and couldn't compete in the open market. Moravan Zlin have been declared bankrupt, but have been bought out by another company, but still have an uncertain future. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zlín Z 42 is a Czech two seat light aircraft. The most popular type made by Moravan.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Postage and Packing :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e  The item will be sent by airmail from The Czech Republic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Please allow 3-4 days delivery time to Europe and up to 7 days worldwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ctable width=\"60%\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"74%\"\u003eEnamel Pin Badge(s)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"26%\" align=\"right\"\u003e$5.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" height=\"35\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"200\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Payment Methods :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  I prefer payment by Paypal  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e  No personal checks please. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Warranty Terms :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis pin is in the condition described above and as photographed. \u003cbr\u003eIf you are in any way dissatisfied I will happily discuss any problems you have via email.
