Gray Beard - willing to go electric on the Polikarpov? http://www.aviationtrivia.info/Polikarpov-I-16.php other plans out there too. Google: Polikarpov I-16 plans
I like the electrics a lot! Problem is I have nothing in the way of any gear for electrics and would have to start from scratch, even a battery charger and at this time starting anything new is out of the question for a while.
I saw on that site there were plans for a small I-16 but couldn't find a button to push to find any info on them?? I'm a plans builder and have a Kinko's close by so blowing them up to size is no problem for me.
A 20 pound giant could be about right for me but I have the LG and other gear for one a bit smaller in stock, maybe a 90 or 120 size of plane??
I have a lot of info on the I-16 in my warbird books too. There was a fellow from the Bay area that scratch built all his planes and they were all E-powered and giants. He brought out a I-16 one year for the IMAA show at Castle Air Base in Calif. that was a thrill to watch and he said it flew great. Wish I had a set of his plans!!
