Thank you for highlighting this unusual Wilga gasser!!! I have not seen a Wilga in the air on a You Tube video before. I originally though that the Wilga is a plane so ugly, that only a hard core flyer could love, but this one is quite sharply painted and seems to perform well in its demonstrated function.
I bought an electric version (Wilga 2000) and a spare from Hobby King years ago.
This plane has historically been used in full scale as a WWII spotter and all-round rugged back woods plane, but I didn't know it was capable as a tow plane. I would love to see more You Tube videos of the Wilga in all its forms! Thanks. - Jim

Wilga 2000 is different version, 104 old one in my opinion look business 😁

[@chuck8974]

These aircraft are beautiful.

Oh maaaan I just love the PZL.. did not expect to see the power pod I know it's mentioned in the title but I wasn't expecting the glider to take off again.. brill... huh?! I love the colour of the PZL too.. I've got an electrified 35A, an 1800mm Black Horse just waiting to maiden. I'm a Wilga nut I think it's safe to say.. thanks for sharing......

[@proprotornut5389]

Both lovely aircraft. Nice flying 👍

[@josseyt]

I love the PZL Wilga 104. I think this is it😁 my next project. Do you know any other kit's than Black horse ? Unbelievable how tough is the glider landing gear. Nice slow-mo 👍

[@mikeonb4c]

Yikes. That first landing was very heavy. Probably why wheel collapsed on second landing. Grass might have been kinder in what looked like unpleasant (crosswind?) conditions.

[@erwinrommel3025]

Very Good Keep it up!

Horrizan will have the new draco soon !

[@proprotornut5389]

Did he break the front wheel of the glider on his first landing? Was that why it retracted in his second. It was a hard first landing.

[@EssentialRC]

I suspect so. These things happen but the show must go on.

[@Dzordzikk]

That pilot of glider need to learn how to land definitelly.

[@PhilBender612]

Screw the glider, that is one nice wilga!
