1578.0. "PZL104 WILGA plans is needed!" by VAXRIO::VEIGA () Fri Dec 17 1993 08:01

    Hi, R/C's
    
    
    Some one out there know who do i get the "PZL 104 WILGA" plans to
    scratch build it ?
    
    PZL 104 WILGA is 1/4 scale (>25cc engine) mostly used to tow gliders,
    its ability is high lift, short take off and very manouverable.
    ( i think it is from Germany !)
    
    Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help in this matter,

1578.1Poland, not GermanyKBOMFG::KLINGENBERGFri Dec 17 1993 11:4217
    Ricardo,
    
    no, Germany is a little more advanced technically... The PZL 104 Wilga
    is a contemporary plane from Poland with a huge radial engine. Not sure
    whether it's still in production, but it was in the seventies and
    probably the eighties. I've seen the full-scale plan at airshows, the
    STOL and tow capabilities are outstanding.
    
    There are many models of this plane flying in Germany, but I'm afraid
    they are all from the nice and expensive kit Joe T. was talking about
    before. The glass fuse shows every panel and rivet in great detail.
    
    Currently, I'm not aware of a plan being available here. I'll keep my
    eyes open.
    
    Best regards,
                  Hartmut

1578.3Free Flight plan in the UKBAHTAT::EATON_NSmile when you say that!Mon Dec 20 1993 03:3832
    Ricardo,
    
    ASP Plans Service in the UK have a plan for a 36 inch span free flight
    model of the Wilga. It looks (from a small photo) to be reasonably
    "look-alike", except that it has greatly exaggerated dihedral.
    
    I realise that this may be of no use to you, but I thought it might be
    useful as a guide for the scratchbuilt model it looks like you're going
    to have to do! 8^)
    
    The model is plan number : FSP1178
    
    It costs 4.75 pounds sterling, with 2.00 pound sterling postage to
    outside the UK.
    
    You can order it from :
    
    	Argus Specialist Publications
    	Argus House
    	Boundary Way
    	Hemel Hempstead
    	Herts
    	HP2 7ST
    
    Their phone number is:
    
    	(0422) 66551
    
    Hope this helps!
    
    Nigel.
