Hope to get the servo's in and painted this weekend. I'll post more pics after that. I will be putting an EME-35cc gas engine in it with a 20x8 prop. Should provide plenty of power

Here is a link to my 115 inch 1/3 scale maiden. Currently under repair after power loss and high speed bean landing on second flight. The maiden went well. A bit tail heavy with sensitive elevator on high rates. The gear failed on landing roll-out, but no damage sustained on that landing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SNzlHkuv9w

So, your friend enlarged the original plan?

Status: offline 		No my friend is doing the building and we called TDM models in Arkansas and ask them is they could enlarge the plans. He said he could so we ordered the plans in 1/5 scale to make the plan around a 72" wing span. Since then we have ordered a set of plans from a French site that had them in 3.8 scale. A little larger than 1/4 scale. When we get around to building that I-16 is will have a 93" wing span.

Greta looking I-16 Jeff. I have watch you flight video many times and it is one reason we are building this I-16.

Status: offline 		That is a very nice looking Polikarpov I-16. It is the same scale as the one we are building. Do you remember the size of the engine he used. Ours is going to be heavy also for a 1/5 scale plane and we are using an eme 35cc gas engine with a 20x8 prop. I think that will have enough power to do the job

What weight do you expect?About 8kg?

Status: offline 		It looks like the I-16 will be around 14lbs(6.5 kg). The EME 35cc gas engine will produce 19 lbs(8.5 kg) of thrust. The will be more than enough power to fly the I-16 but I am a little worried about the landing also. The wing loading I fell is going to be very high so landings will be a little hot.

Very nice too hear from you in Finland. I hope you are doing well. I really like the Finnish Air Force colors on the I-16 but I have already started painting mine. Here is the comouflage pattern I have chosen. It is from a Russian squadron the was on the front line in July 1940.

Status: offline 		I think that 6,5kg is good weight. If you use EME 35 with 8,5kg of thrust, you will be able to hang on the prop! . Don´t worry about your I-16. It will be good plane, and the landings will be nice!I´m looking forward to some more pictures and maiden flight video.

Status: offline 		I'll be posting more pics after I get tge I-16 painted and the EME 35cc engine installed. I have a video camera I will bring to the field and take some video of the maiden flight. The weather here in Tennessee is cold and damp right now so it will be some time before the maiden can be done.

Thanks for the video. It was very nice and I really like to watch the I-16 in flight. We are installing the electronics now and I hope to have the I-16 completed with in the week.
