R.L.Bartini was an Italian-born Soviet aircraft designer and scientist, involved in the development of numerous successful and experimental aircraft projects. A pioneer of amphibious aircraft and ground effect vehicles, Bartini was one of the most famous engineers in the Soviet Union.
In the 50´s he made some design concepts of different jet driven seaplanenes... where only a a few bad scetches and one picture is known.
Mostly it seems to be a typical boat-style hulls, but specially a few differ from the others. Stationary canards??? No tail stabilizer? still tailfin though.. (interesting... )
"of course" i couldnt keep off in awaiting parts for other projects, and got in touch with a guy for a bit more info, not exactly all i wanted, but.....I LIKE THE STYLE!!!
MAEE did that time also made a "similar" concept scetch, even if without canards, but also without the tail stabilizer.
Together with this info i feel can have the fun, and try make a flying model, with stationary canard up front, slight v-shaped wing, and no rear stab.
The model "wanted" is marked as "01", and with a proper 70mm EDF this should be a fun build. Note that airintakes are on top front of wings. By other info, it should be "bulbs" on side of fuselage under the wing to exhaust outlet.
