Default RE: Polikarpov I-16

This is a very old post without any reply. I did a search for the 16 myself and found almost nothing. There is/was a fellow in the AMA magazine a year or so ago that was doing a follow along scratch build of one. It was giant scale and I don't think he sold the plans or published them. There is also a fellow named Jim Collin from the bay area in Calif. that scratch built one and powered it with electric for the IMAA Rally of the Giants held at Castle Air Base in 2004. That was the only show I saw him fly it at. He may have his plans for it?? Maybe someone here knows how to reach him. Mr. Collin is an outstanding designer/builder!!
