Bill OParowski Not a great 'general purpose' aircraft perhaps, but it excels at the narrowly defined mission it was built for which was to do heavy work at 60 knots with state provided fuel. With the radial replaced with a Lycoming, it does better on fuel consumption. Bill Daniels |

Despite it's massive ugliness and some concessions give to it because it's a tail dragger, it's performance numbers are not substantially different than a 172 (gross weight, operating speeds, etc...). |

It was in route from Beaverton, OR to Shreveport, LA. http://www.soaridaho.com/Guest_Photos/Wilga.htm The placard near the tail hook states that it is certified to pull 3 gliders at a time.
