- Опубліковано 5 жов 2023
- This awe-inspiring RC Wilga is something you don't see often! All hollow-molded composite, it originated from a Frisch mold (now offered by Tomahawk Aviation), this model is a visual delight with its rivets, panel lines, and clean automotive paint finish. Powered by a Moki 250cc 5-cylinder radial engine, turning a 32x16 prop, this 12-ft wingspan giant weighs just under 55lbs and sounds incredible!
Join us as we showcase the beauty and power of this extraordinary Wilga model and crank up the sound, because t's an experience you won't want to miss! :)

Thanks so much for sharing this! I am the pilot and want to share a little more info about this flight, specifically. This was round 2 at the 2023 RC Scale Nationals in Muncie, Indiana at AMA site #4. The goal here is to make it look as real as you can for max points. The wind was a bumpy quartering cross blowing about 15mph, which was evident after takeoff and from some buffering during the flight (I don't used gyros). The flight was decent, but it did get tossed around a bit. And yes, the landing was BAD. I haven't flown the Wilga since 2019 and just got it too slow. You can see as soon as the nose came up with the flaps down and all that weight, it slows down quick in the wind. I throttled up to smooth it out, but with less than stellar results. I actually bent both axles on that landing. New axles installed, we finished the rest of the weekend unscathed, and came home 4th in class! I appreciate all of the kind words and thanks again to The RC Geek for sharing and doing such a great job capturing this machine!
Holy crap!
Sounds like it's running on a 350 V8 ! Awesome 👍
I love the sound of those Moki engines..
So hard to beat!
Boy, that thing is heavy, along with the wing loading!
Good stuff Chris, such a great sounding moki motor. Really cool, extreme landing. Nice Wilga. AH...
Another Awesome Video Geek!!! 😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
Sounds like original full scale even!!
That’s just huge, you got to love that sound, I really hope I get an engine this big one day. 👍🏻
The MOKI sound!
Love the Wilga.
Gosh that’s a nice sound!
Sick plane.
Beautiful.
Wonderful
That's one plane I would buy on the spot. Moki 250cc that's such a great engine wonderful sounding. Great video Chris
Several times during the flight I had to remind myself this is an rc.
Wow, she even passed the landing gear suspension test.
Looks like perfect flying conditions easy to follow the plane
Love my DRACO
Dito
Unreal!
Great show thanks gentlemen.
OI OI OI. JONO 😊
Hello JONO! That was a savage landing wasn't it? ;) :) AirHammer out!!
Oi Roy!@@reckemroysrc3764
Hammer!@@airhammer6203
Sounds better than some full size planes
At least the axles and suspension held good enough to save that nice prop. Awesome plane
Really enjoyed this one Chris! I've always been intrigued by the Wilga...form follows function for sure! I appreciate the hard landing demo, but it clearly bent the gear aft of the joint...oh well...
Johnny!
@@jonoedwards4195 Jono!! What's up mate!?! I saw you in the chat during the live stream, but only after I had signed off. Still trying to figure it out. Cheers!!
Cool video! Easily mistaken for full scale when people aren’t next to it.
Pre-draco. I had the electric blue version (2016).
Brutal landing :(
Yeah, haha
