The Politechnika Warszawska PW-5 Smyk, is at first glance a somewhat strange looking aircraft. The reason for this is the smaller than usual form. Also in the aircraft construction, the development does not stop and so is the PW-5 the GPR existing successor of the Pirat by the Polish company SZD. This PW-5 is in private use and is used by two club members for the long distance flights. Also interesting is the fact that a competition category was created especially for this aircraft, because the “Smyk” has a very small spanwidth.
