WT huh?

Anyone know what the story behind this is? Is this thing an
ultra-ultra light? Is it a RC ultralight? Is it an RC plane?

That's the Dmitriev "Suitcase Ultralight". Human-carrying aircraft, able to
fold into a small package. See the June 1991 and Feb 1992 issues of SPORT
AVIATION.

Looks like the well-known Adobe Photoshop to me. especially on closer
inspection.

I saw it in person at Oshkosh, as did several hundred thousand other people.
The SPORT AVIATION articles show it from other angles, plus have shots of the
designer's earlier aircraft (which were of more conventional size).

It looks to me like that propellor would take his head off
just below the chin.

The seat is in *front* of the wing....if you look ~18 or so inches from the
leading edge, you'll see a small yoke. He's standing between the tail booms
just to hold the plane close to the empty CG.

The articles in SPORT AVIATION show better perspectives...

Looks like a model to me. There appears to be a sling or bucket seat
forward of the wing. He is just holding it up for the picture.
