Its primary version was powered by a single PZInż Junior engine, delivering 120 HP. The prototype's maiden flight occurred in 1933, leading to serial production between 1934 and 1939, with approximately 550 units manufactured. Notably, the aircraft was not equipped with fixed armament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, the RWD-8 was developed in response to a competition by the Air and Gas Defense League for a new initial training aircraft. Engineer Stanisław Wigura led the early development at the Experimental Aviation Workshop in Warsaw, completing the first prototype in 1933. The aircraft emerged victorious in the competition, praised for its user-friendly controls, high flight safety, comfortable environment for both student and instructor, and cost-effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polish army quickly recognized its potential, placing an order for military versions in 1934, which were subsequently produced at the PWS plant in Biała Podlaska. While civilian RWD-8 aircraft were widely used by flying clubs across Poland, the military variants were dedicated to initial pilot training at aviation schools in Dęblin, Bydgoszcz, and Krosno. During the September 1939 campaign, RWD-8 aircraft also served crucial roles as liaison machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing September 1939, many RWD-8 planes were transferred to other countries, including Romania, Finland, and Hungary, extending their service beyond Poland's borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Mirage-Hobby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Code: mir848092\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.28 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 5901463848923\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft Type: Training and Liaison Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft Origin: Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: PZInż Junior (120 HP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Flight: 1933\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Years: 1934-1939\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Quantity: Approximately 550 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmament: None (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructure: Mixed, high wing (umbrella system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndercarriage: Classic, fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mirage-Hobby","offers":[{"title":"A - Like New","offer_id":61762789671242,"sku":"848092-A","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"B - Very Good","offer_id":61762789704010,"sku":"848092-B","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"C - Minor Wear","offer_id":61762789736778,"sku":"848092-C","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"D - Major Wear","offer_id":61762789769546,"sku":"848092-D","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/3206\/8938\/files\/11387_rd.jpg?v=1778054455","url":"https:\/\/re.now\/products\/rwd-8-pws-model-set","provider":"Renow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
