Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.

The Polikarpov I-15 'Chaika' biplane fighter was one of the main fighters employed
by the russians on the prelude to world war two. Developed in prison, the designers
were given their freedom once the Chaika proved its value.

INSTRUCTIONS - TAKEOFF. Don't touch pitch, just throttle to full and focus on rudder
control. It will takeoff on its own.
