FSX RWD-8

The RWD-8 was the most popular aircraft for basic training in Poland before the World War 2. Many pilots took off for the first time in this small bird and started their careers. She was used for the first solo’s both in military and civilian aerodromes, acted as a tow plane, and “blind flying” plane .
The prototype was built in 1933 as a response to Polish Air Force requirement for a basic trainer aircraft. The manufacturer was “Doœwiadczalne Warsztaty Lotnicze” (Experimental Aero Works) – DWL, located at Okêcie aerodrome near Warsaw. The prototype, reg. SP-AKL won the contest for the trainer, beating up PZL.5bis and Bartel BM4.
Since the DWL had limited workspace and they were preparing a new plane for the Challenge tournament in 1934, the main production batch of the RWD-8 was moved to nationalized PWS factory in Bia³a Podlaska. This aircrafts were called RWD-8pws and differed from the original RWD-8 dwl in minor details: worse performance, heavier gross weight, different undercarriage and exhaust pipe system. Also, the pilot’s windscreen was removable and both versions had different instrument configurations.
