An extremely light aircraft this is. In real life, the I-16 was around 1100 Kg when unloaded and around 1900 Kg when loaded. It had a maximum takeoff weight of around 2100 Kg. This plane was built before world war two by the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR or ????) and saw combat during the Spanish Civil war, the Chinese Civil war and World War Two among other wars. Officially retired in 1950, this plane shaped the world of light aircraft. At a maximum speed of a little over 500 kph, this plane replicates the real speeds of the I-16. In order to match weights, I had to mod the weights of many parts to match that of the real life counter part. There are 4 guns, 2 fast firing, low spread ShKAS machine guns and 2 wing mounted, slow firing, medium spread ShVAK cannons. This looks more like the I-18 due to it being a bit long so I'll probably go back to revise it. So, grab a bottle of vodka, shout "???!" and take to the skies.
