I don't get it. Why would a STOL, slow airplane fall like a sack of nails?


Have you ever SEEN a Wilga? http://www.pzl-okecie.com.pl/wilga.htm

They are relatively heavy, and excessively draggy. One flight report
I read described how when are landing and you pulled the power
downwind at the end of the runway, you'd better be turning for the
runway immediately because the bottom just drops out.

A glider it is not.
