The
Wilga
(PZL-104) was developed by PZL in Poland to
serve the military as a reconnaissance aircraft.
Its unique appearance makes it stand out among both modern and vintage
aircraft. This is definitely not
just another high wing monoplane. Its
reputation as a tow plane in both the full scale and modeling worlds is
legendary. In Europe it has been
used to tow 3 full-scale single place gliders at one time.
The kit comes as an RTF
plane. Fuselage is a highly detailed white molded fiberglass piece with all paneling
and rivet made. Windows are fitted and firewall is fully carbon reinforced.
Landing gear is molded fiberglass/carbon. Wings are of built-up type covered and
ready for radio gear installation and feature ailerons and flaps. Wings are
assembled by means of a twin steel tube wing joiner system which is very reliable
and strong.
Equipped
with a 30 to 60cc engine it is pretty light, yet feature a strong construction, it is a
very gentle flying tug. Even fitted with an 80cc engine, it has proven to be a
reliable and long lasting plane, going through several heavy flight season without
any trouble.
Electric tug is also possible with now the famous
Plettenberg Pred. 30-8,
it will tow 20-30lbs gliders to sky's limit.
This Wilga has proven to be
our first choice tug.
