Walter NZ 120 Engine Needed!

[tulsaboy]

Hi,

I am new to the forum; a friend suggested that I might find some help here, so here goes! I am trying to locate a czech-built Walter NZ 120 engine for an aircraft project. The airplane can't fly unless I can track down an engine. I have located about a half dozen in European museums, but museums aren't exactly excited about parting with their collections. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Dear Sir,

maybe you should try to contact those guys:
Czechoslovak Historic Flight - Contact.

I am sorry - not participating in active flying nor aircraft restoring, but I do not know how many pieces survived out of 260-280 engines produced.

As a secondary source about the situation within this part of Czech aviation community, you can try to contact this group:
Team | Aviators.cz

The factory, as you probably know, still exists as a part of GE.

Hope it helps a bit, Sir.

All the best

Mirko
