Pilot Magazine Review, Spring 2026

Dave Unwin, of Pilot Magazine, has given the 160hp WT-9 Dynamic a great review, which you should probably read in full! (The link to the pdf is at the end of this post.)

Here are some quotes to tempt you.:

“As the throttle hits the stop, the acceleration is immmediate and irrefutably impressive; within seconds we’re off the ground and climbing away at over 1,000 feet per minute – with a sailplane on the back!”

“…it features significant upgrades over earlier models. These include a reinforced airframe, a larger tail unit, and an extended nose to accommodate the 160hp Rotax 916iS engine and its cooling systems.”

“The undercarriage looks rugged.”

“…the surprisingly spacious cockpit (which has a maximum width of 1.15m) and big, ninety-litre baggage bay behind the seats.”

“The combination is airborne after a commendably short ground run…”

“…the large bubble canopy provides a fine field of view.”

“It’s more than fast and powerful enough to tow any high-performance two-seat sailplane up to 850kg, yet can fly slow enough to tow a vintage glider.”

“It really is a hugely impressive aircraft for either towing or touring, and tug pilots all over the country are probably salivating at the prospect of towing with such a fine machine.”
