10/31/2006. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The Savage was designed by the italian aeronautical engineers Bonaldo, Franchini and Vizzini. Prototypes were built in Italy, the first flying in 1999. Series production is undertaken by Zlín Aviation at Holešov Airport, Czech Republic, (not to be confused with Zlín Aircraft at Moravan, builders of the Zlín Trener and other light aircraft). The French company Avions Légers Multi-Services developed it into the Calao."
