This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Zlin Z-26 Trener''' was a tandem-seat basic [[Trainer (aircraft)|training aircraft]] built by the [[Czechoslovakia]]n company [[Moravan]]. A low-wing monoplane of largely wooden construction, it was developed into a series of all-metal trainers. Several were also produced in aerobatic variants, known as the '''Akrobat'''.

The original Z-26 was designed in the 1940s and produced in 1946 to meet a requirement for a basic trainer to replace the [[Bücker Bü 131|Bücker Jungmann]] and [[Bücker Bü 181|Bestmann]]. It was a low-wing monoplane of mixed construction, with wooden wings and a welded metal tube fuselage, powered by a single [[Internal combustion engine|four-cylinder]] [[piston engine]], the Walter Minor 4-III. It first flew in early 1947, proving superior to the competing [[Praga E-112]], and was declared the winner, entering production in 1948.<ref name="Zlin p61">Mourik 2001, p.61.</ref>

Later derivatives were also 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.<ref name="Frawley p198">Frawley 1997, p.198.</ref>

==Variants==
[[File:Zlin Z226T Trener 6 OK-KNP LBG 29.05.57 edited-2.jpg|thumb|right|Zlin Z-226T Trener 6 exhibited at the 1957 [[Paris Air Show]]]]
The following variants were progressive improvements on the Z-26:
* '''Z-26''' – two-seat primary trainer aircraft. 163 built.<ref name="Janes Ency p908">Taylor 1989, p.908.</ref>
* '''Z-126''' – introduced in 1953, Czech military designation C-105, all-[[metal]] [[wing]] instead of original [[wooden]] wing.<ref name="Frawley p198">Frawley 1997, p.198.</ref>
* '''Z-226''' – more powerful [[Walter Minor]] 6-III six-cylinder [[engine]], C-205
** '''Z-226A''' – single-seat [[Aerobatics|aerobatic aircraft]]. This and subsequent single-seat variants were named the '''Akrobat'''.<ref>William Greene; ''The Observer's World Aircraft Directory'', Warne, 1961, pp. 318, 334.</ref>
** '''Z-226B''' – [[Glider (aircraft)|glider]] tug aircraft
** '''Z-226T''' – basic training version
* '''Z-326''' – Introduced in 1959, with an electrically retractable [[Landing gear|undercarriage]] (standard on future models)<ref name="Frawley p198">Frawley 1997, p.198.</ref>
** '''C-305''' – military version of Z-326 with night-flight capability and military-class cockpit equipment
* '''Z-526''' – with the Walter 6-III carburettor's six-cylinder engine
** '''Z-526A''' – single-seat aerobatic aircraft
** '''Z-526F''' – Improved version. [[Avia M 337|M-137]] engine with [[Fuel injection|fuel injector]].
* '''Z-726''' – modified 526 with shortened wings and fuselage
** '''Z-726K''' – with [[Avia M 337|Walter M 337]] supercharged engine

In 1956, deliveries began of the Z326 Trener-Master and Z326A Akrobat.<ref name="Frawley p198">Frawley 1997, p.198.</ref>  Many sub-variants were also produced, for example the Z-526A and Z-526AFS were [[aerobatic]] specials. The production of the family was terminated in the 1970s with Z-726.  The Z-726 Universal had reduced wingspan.<ref name="Frawley p198">Frawley 1997, p.198.</ref>
