Panzl PAN

Despite its superficial resemblance to a Pitts S-2, the Panzl Pan 1 N11ZL is an original 1987 homebuilt experimental biplane. It was a two-place cabin biplane, powered by a Franklin 6V-335.

The one built, N11ZL c/n ZL-1, won the EAA Champion Custom-Plans Built award at Oshkosh in 1990.

It was substantially damaged on March 18, 2003 during impact with terrain following a forced landing attempt near Vernal, Utah. The commercial pilot, who was the sole occupant on board, received minor injuries.
