That was my first impression, a Bede something or other, like a two
place -5, with influence from Rutan (the small canards in front).

Curiosity drove me to looking and I am still extremely curious about the
history or designer.

The workmanship looked acceptable, but I can't think of any sane man
that would buy and re-engine that thing and trust his life to it.

The shoulder room limit dictates a very small (narrow) pilot. And the
tandem seating would be only for a passenger with no claustrophobic
tendencies to be sure.
