Mike Z Sport Aviation

Mike Z Sport Aviation
If you live in Central Florida and pursue
recreational aviation, odds are you know
or have heard of Mike Z. His last name
is Zidziunas and now you know why everyone
calls him “Mike Z.”

Mike is well known in the hang gliding community
and among ultralight enthusiasts. He
has wide experience, including sail repairs
(the same kind of work sometimes needed by
hang glider pilots), being an A&P mechanic
and LSA Repairman with plenty of knowledge
of aircraft repairs. More than being qualified
himself, Mike’s Plant City, Florida, airport
operation has been the host quarters for
one of Rainbow Aviation’s LSA Repairman
courses.

Many of the people who have come to know
Mike took flight lessons from him or had
maintenance done by him. Some LSA enthusiasts
know he assembles airplanes for
Sportsplanes.com, specifically models like the
Breezer II, the Skylark, the C-42, and others.
Mike has also worked closely with another
Central Florida legend, Jay Kurtz, a DAR who
attracted attention last year by gaining ELSA
approval for a Van’s RV-9 done as lightly as
possible so that it could qualify as a light
sport aircraft. Kurtz runs South Lakeland
Airport, a residential airpark that Mike calls
home.
