Awesome project, I'll be following this. I love the I-16, but I fear it will prove a difficult challenge. Very stubby, short fuselage.. may be a hand full to fly!

The original I16 had manually operated retracts, requiring the pilot to operate a lever up/down. I would love it if you could somehow replicate that. Like flipping a switch back and forth each time extending/retracting the gear a fraction (and another switch for emergencies of course).

I'd love to see this plane finished. I could bring to the meetings this plane and the storch painted in the spanish civil war schemes. This one in republican colors and the storch in nationalists scheme.

Alp are you officially quitting this project? If so, send whatever you have to another skilled builder for them to finish it! I really want to build one of these!!!

Wake up! Time to fly!
I see a lot more round fuselages being done. Maybe It time to motivate and make the official video how I bend / roll foam board with no wrinkles and then graft the seams to make a very clean round form. That is how I did the nice curves on my Caudron build.

Nice start on this one with all the former's already spec'd and placed. These builds are coming together very quickly by all the teams so far.

OOPS.. prolly should look at the dates this was started as this is NOT meant for this years competition. Someone should pick up with this project where it left off and run with the progress already done.

I would love a copy of the plans but might not get to finish it immediately. If you post the plans and any other info then perhaps this could become a community rescue build.

Have fun!
