Speaking of cockpits, this one is of a Polikarpov I-16, showing the hand
crank that retracts the landing gear, on the lower right. With 45 turns (some say 75 turns) of the crank, this tedious process meant that most of its flight testing was done with the gear down.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Speaking of cockpits, this one is of a Polikarpov I-16, showing the hand crank that retracts the landing gear, on the lower right. With 45 turns (some say 75 turns) of the crank, this tedious process meant that most of its flight testing was done with the gear down. Hence, the Polikarpov designers warning to the test pilots: "This is Russia...you do not do the Polikarpov I-16...the Polikarpov I-16 does YOU." *

Looks like they palmed a few off to the Chinese and let them worry about it. *

A big engine, with as little airframe as possible to keep it in the air...
