IFIL-Reghin RG-6
The IFIL-Reghin RG-6 was a light aircraft built in Romania in 1957 for aeroclub use.[1] It was designed by Vladimir Novichi at the request of the national sport flying association AVSAP,[2] which specified the use of the Praga D engine, surplus stocks of which were available in Romania following production of the Zlín Z-22.[3]
Novichi's design was for a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem under a long canopy. The structure was to be entirely of wood, so when production of the type was organised through Sovromtractor, it was assigned to the IFIL[4] factory in Reghin, which was already producing wooden gliders.[5] Only three examples of the RG-6 were built.[3]
An RG-6 was used by pilot Vasile Petcu to set a national class airspeed record of 165 km/h (103 mph) over a 100 km closed circuit in 1957.[6]
