DKD-III and JD-2 - the first Polish self-made aircrafts

Stanislaw Dzialowski constructed the DKD-III, using the wing and rudder, that remained after the DKD-I, crashed while already living in Krakow. The plane was built in 9 weeks and the next day the designer flew it to the 1st National Aircraft Competition in Warsaw. Although with an engine failure, the aircraft took IV place. In addition, the aircraft was still the best in the race for take-off, take-off speed, landing speed and speed of de-mounting. In the 2nd competition, the plane took the 3rd place in the overall standings.

Jeray Drzewecki designed his JD-2 in the winter of 1925/1926 and was built in 1926 in the basement of the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute. During the test flight, the fuel tube of the plane, controlled by the pilot Kazimierz Kalina, broke in the air and the plane forced down. He went down and caught fire, and all was burned. The pilot's feedback was so good, that Jerzy made another plane and took first place in the 1927 competition. The plane changed owners several times and was flown until 1935.

The models are very simple and great for beginners, only they would be better off working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and these should not be the first few models, you will assemble before.
