Uh, are those end-plates on the stub-wings / sponsons ??

( Okay, it has credible detailing-- Is it for real ??? )

-- Is it for real ???

Yes, this is the Bumble Bee -- world's smallest piloted airplane -- on display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ. There was a more advanced version, lost to engine failure.

The Bumble Bee got is name because of a rumor that real bumble bees don't have enough wing area to fly. But they've never heard this rumor, so they fly anyway. Same with the airplane.

Plans are from smallflyingartsforum.com

2. Prop's turning. Nice touch.
3. It's... moving?
4. IT IS MOVING! FAST! HOT DAMN!
5. nononono... that can't be right...
6. Ground effect. Right. Gotta be it. Or some sort of anti-gravity device.
7. Blissful acceptance.
