Any one has any idea as to where I might get a set of plan for this plane?

This is a plane by Valentin Salenek, a longtime member of (first) Soviet and (later) Russian national team.  This plane was published in Modelist-Konstruktor circa 1986(?) and the article was titled "The Novelty of the '95 Nationals" or something like that.  I have a copy of the article which includes the plans, but I'm at Brodaks this week.  I can scan the plans - however, keep in mind they only exist in a single page format (9.5" x 11") with dimensions; no full size plans are available.  You would have to reproduce the plans from the magazine publication.
This article also had a very detailed description of one of the popular take apart systems.  The entire plane comes apart and packs in a box the size of an average suitcase.  Very cool.

Looks like a Genesis with completely different aerodynamics and force arrangements. D>K

Yeah! I'm with Milt.
It has about nothing that looks like a Genesis!

On the wing it says “Format”. The design is completely original (720 sq inch wing if I recall correctly), and has nothing to do with the Genesis. Engine is 9.5 cc loop scavenged, rear exhaust, rear intake, homemade.

My curious mind is wondering....how well did it fly? Did it place in the World's? How's it compare to say, the actual Genesis, or Impact, or any known American design?

Like some other great minds, also Valentin likes to use Dykes rings in his engines.

That is what I was wondering? Until recent times, the Russians were pretty tight lipped about their F2B technology. Of course, all that has changed now.  I wonder how it flew?
