Olyan hülyén néz ki a Wilga, de akkor is repülni fogok eggyel mert valamiért szimpatikus :D

How much more fuel does it use compared to a comparable lyc, 540. and how do you fill the air bottle, scuba compressor?

[unfairplay]

i like the ugliness of this plane. what kind of engine does it use and how much horsepower?

[czegeny]

Ivchenko AI-14R 9-cylinder radial rated for 260 HP (takeoff).
