I think it was a experiment to see if it could take of from small fields,the top wing could be jettisioned.
I wouldn't want to be flying that thing when I popped the top wing. It looks like it would take the tail off if you were not careful.
Very interesting design!....
Very curious. Not seen that before. Thanks.
