Given that a nice big Wilga probably costs $3K to do properly, people don't buy them in the first place unless they're really serious about having one. That, and the glider pilots would probably kill any tug pilot who tried to sell their model if it turned out to fly really well

Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply SoarNeck! I can see buy the reply from Piper Pilot that I am getting no where here. Piper Pilot wishes he could have something as nice as a Wilga instead of those toy airplanes on strings!!

Icare has one for sale and it flys very well we use them at our club for towing with a 3w-75 and it performs very well.
