Zlín Z 26

Zlin Trener is a family of aircraft that was based on a basic training aircraft, the Z-26.

The original Z-26 was designed in late 1940s and produced in 1946 by the Czechoslovakian company, Moravan to meet a requirement for a basic trainer to replace the Bücker Jungmann and Bestmann. It was a low-winged monoplane of mixed construction, with wooden wings and a welded metal tube fuselage, powered by a single four-cylinder piston engine, the Walter Minor 4-III. It first flew in early 1947, proving superior to the competing Praga 112, and was declared the winner, entering production in 1948.

Later Z-26 variants were optimised to participate in aerobatic competitions and many were owned by private pilot owners. Both the two seat Trener and the single seat Akrobat were considered highly successful, winning several aerobatic awards in the 1960s.

Variants

The following variants were progressive improvements on the Z-26:

Zé Tó

José Ántónio Ramos Ribeiro (born 11 September 1977), commonly known as Zé Tó, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played mainly as an attacking midfielder.

Football career

Born in Luanda, Angola, Zé Tó began his professional career at Vitória de Setúbal, but could never break into the main squad. After a stint in the lower leagues, he first made an impact in the Primeira Liga with S.C. Farense.

In the 2000 summer Zé Tó joined Spain's UD Salamanca, a team that also included three compatriots. After a one-and-a-half year loaned to fellow second level side CD Badajoz, he returned and began appearing regularly (after only eight league games from August 2000–December 2001), going on to amass 186 official appearances for the club.

After an unassuming 2008–09 season – five matches, 140 minutes of action – Zé Tó was released, arranging a deal with another Spanish side, lowly AD Cerro de Reyes, former side Badajoz's neighbours. However, he quickly grew unsettled, returning to his country after nearly ten years and moving to the regional leagues with Estrela de Vendas Novas.
