Hi,

A mate of mine, Simon Cocker built a PSS version 6m 20kg !. Google simon cocker antonov pss and there are many hits, you may also try to get hold of the December 1995 - January 1996 silent flight magazine as it has construction details.

And EDF model has already been flying for about 10 years.

Check Model Airplane News issue March 2001 (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3819/is_200103/ai_n8928913) for a complete and accurate description. (Back then Han Bühr personally told me the description was the most accurate he'd seen to date.) I can't see a picture online, but one was published in the print magazine.

For better photos, check the posts (from September 2004) in RC-Universe (http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/An_225/m_2206737/tm.htm).

Apparently the model still flies with all the original equipment.
