I don't think the windmill is part of the aeroplane, even in this version, and it seems to have a human course keeper installed here. As this flying contraption seems to be truly obscure, I might add that the designer (who was not the constructor) was very concerned with inherent stability, though this little effort is quite unlike his more usual style.
