..... A sort of cunning early Russian autopilot. 

Wow, a new type for me, and love the "autopilot" idea.  Crazy. 

Might work for a WIG type as well...

Foiling Moths (see below) use a drag wire to control the incidence of their foils in a similar manner. (It's the one coming from the nose down). More wire in water (moth low) causes more drag - more lift on foil. Less wire in water (moth higher) less drag, less lift.

So the 'wire' is connected to the foils to change their angle of incidence?

I note the 'wire' has a small, spoon shaped paddle right on the bottom too.

I know you don't like it. But that looks like a realistic little bipe

Twin-boomers with a single tractor propeller are a very rare layout, not realistic I think: why twin-booms in this case?

Anyway, I have started the finishing in the dark after work, and the result is rather awful, there will be more work to finish, maybe saturday in the day light. Retired ones among us are lucky...

Perhaps because it keeps the airframe weight down?

The model is finished, with little Windows, like 1/100:

Now that is truly fascinating Tophe 

I can see it being used as an agricultural or fire fighting aircraft for sure.

It looks LOADS better than the original version OOB.

Thanks a lot!

Like a Soviet AirTruk, yes
