My college at work do fly and build RC planes as his hobby . He like the Wilga. She is so ugly I have to build it as RC plane he told me once. He had done two now! Some time ago he get an Eastern Express short run Wilga as a present by friends. He ask me if I want it because he is not so with stand modelling. I told him to build this Wilga kit for him.
BIG MISTAKE!
The kit.
No.
Dementi: The thing who want to be of something to build, maybe.
Shortrun!
All parts fit easily, problem free and well together no filling and sanding was need and the sun was shining anymore. Only a kit from MAC made more fun!
And I have to admit that I build in the past Eastern Express T34 short run kits.
As several ACE kit!
The Instruction.
Joke!
Glory to the Internet!
Heck, I glue the underside of the wing in the wrong direction.
Hey! This was not shown in the black line and circle on white paper.
After some frustrating work with the Wilga I start to build a kit that all parts fit together.
The Dio "Message in a bottle" was done.
Then I start to build again the Wilga.
Putty here, Putty there. Sanding this and sanding that, stop.
I do an other short run to learn and make not all wrong.
The Dio "Paradise bird" was finished. With a short run plane, Boomerang.
Unfortunately the Boomerang quality was in all ways much higher as the Wilga.
Now around one year later I try to fight these Wilga beast into a Dio.
This plane is in my opinion too filigree for short run.
The pic show the frustration right now.
I never give up!
