TS-8 "Bies"
Narkiewicz WN-3
This engine although design in 1950's used tried and true prewar technology and features.
Ok I know I'm pushing the rules too the limit with this one.
This plane is 20 years too new for current WW.
But it doesn't have any features that are not already in WW use.
The most questionable feature is the Tricycle retractable landing gear. With I'm dropping it the WW version.
This plane is to replace the PWS-26 Bi-plane trainer.
