"Raven", or PZL-106 under construction - part 2.
September 16, 2024
Let's take a look at the "Raven" project with the PZL 106 aircraft.
We have the first package of photos from the TZL aircraft workshop. It should be made clear that the rank of this project is extremely high. If the project can be finalized, "KRUK" will be the only flying copy in Poland. Ba, there will be only 2 in Europe! The restored copy comes from Africa. As you probably already know from the first blog, the aircraft was full of sand. It has lain for many years without maintenance, and therefore, virtually every screw will require treatment. It's a difficult and laborious job.
The Raven, along with the now-famous Bies and the lesser known to you Bąek, are gems of the "Zabytki Polskiego Nieba" Foundation, founded by Jan Borowski. Mr. Henryk Wicki, who is engaged in the reconstruction of the aircraft, keeps sending us materials on the progress of the work and today we have for you a series with descriptions prepared by Mr. Henryk.

The cabin equipment is almost ready, unfortunately, as you can see in the photo in the control rod lacks buttons. If anyone has such we will gladly accept.

Fuel system components. You can see the fuel tap. Out of three, I managed to assemble one but it works very well and is like new.
We are waiting impatiently for the next stage! There are rumors that "KRUK" may be completed as early as this year.
