Wilga is the Polish name of the bird golden oriole. PZL 104 Wilga was constructed in 1960, with first flight in 24 April 1962. Three engines were used in the Wilga: 1) russian radial AI-14R, 2)Continental O-470 and at the end of production Turbo Prop 3) Lycoming IO-720. In 2001, the company PZL became part of the EADS Group (EADS Casa, currently Airbus Military). In 2008 the last aircraft PZL 104MN was produced.

You had to remove spark plugs and then spin propeller to clean cylinders from oil and petrol. It's happens with radial engines due to oil in the lower cylinders. Lucky for you, that you avoid hydro strike. Also it's good idea to change oil in this type of engines after long stop.

They should have taken out the lower spark plugs and spun the engine through to expell some of the oil that was built up in there. It would have started much easier. Also should have used more primer fuel. Air starter was clearly gummed up with old oil.

Haven't read most of the comments... however, the puff of smoke at the very beginning says a lot! First, this engine is notorious for oil consumption that today would ground any aircraft. The puff no doubt was a sign that oil most likely accumulated around the spark plug. It happened before fuel ever had a chance to get to the cylinders. It is most likely why the need to enrich the fuel-air mixture was necessary just to clear the fouled plugs. This is NOT an isolated incident. Engines of this type had VLT (very low tolerances unlike even the newer same type versions today. Rule of thumb... like they did back then... the cylinders were cleared and the plugs were then reinstalled. Much easier than destroying a starter on every start up.
@flycubfly
6 жыл бұрын
Bill Yost All radials drain oil to the lower cylinders. Yes, if they accumulate to much then they have to be drained through the plug holes. If there was to much oil in the cylinders at start up , you would get hydraulic lock and bend a connecting rod . A damaged starter really isn’t the issue here, it’s the connecting rods. No matter how well you drain the oil through the rear spark plug hole in all the lower cylinders ,some oil will remain in the cylinder head with the valves . When turning the prop through before each start up to check for hydraulic lock , the valves open and have no choice other than swallow oil .After you clear the cylinders and you do start the engine , you will get smoke , lots of it . Hell, you should see the oil that will spit out the exhaust from what the open valves let in .So all this is normal here . Gee wiz,, what do I know ??? . 17 years of flying Beavers and Otters every day in Alaska helps.

A damaged starter is not possible as there is not a starter on these engines...they start with compressed air. You can "crank" all you want until you run out of air, however, if it doesn't start on the first few blades you are wasting air. Stop and figure out what part of the equation is missing / incorrect; fuel, air, or spark.

Yes ! The "Wilga" (the polish female name of the bird) it was a plane fully constructed and manufactured by polish aero-engineers I believe in 70's, that means during the communism regime time in Poland. Wilga plane, received a popular name as "Aero-Taxi", because of its capacity for three passengers, and also especially for the short distances for pretty short take-off and also landing. I believe, that even up for today is still in production in Poland, but as a much modernized version of it rather that PZL [104-35]. Fly !! ...~ Wilga ~.... Fly !!
