The Savage Nomad
Kitplanes Are Not Available
We receive several requests for kits every week, for the Savage Norden, Shock, Nomad and Bobber.
Like you, we wish they were available, but there is so much worldwide demand for the new ready-to-fly Norden that the manufacturer, Zlin Aviation, has dedicated all of its production capacity to meeting that demand.
We will update this notice when circumstances change.
Fly Your Passion
Rediscover the freedom of flight. Add bush gear, floats, skis and advanced avionics, and the Nomad will take you to the limits of your imagination.
Runway Optional
This is one tough aircraft, designed for beach, gravel bar, mountain and backcountry discovery. That inaccessible fishing hole, hunting spot or camping destination might as well be right outside your door.
