==Design and development== The Zlin Savage series are [[strut-braced]], [[high-wing]] aircraft with [[conventional landing gear]]. The [[fuselage]] is constructed with welded steel tubing. The wings are constructed with [[aluminum]] [[Spar (aviation)|spars]] and [[wing rib]]s with [[aircraft fabric covering]]. Fuel is stored in two wing root tanks. The control surfaces use aluminum skins.<ref name="Zlin" /><ref name="WDLA11"/><ref name="WDLA15"/>
