Can't be. It's either a biplane with two sets of wings or a monoplane with only one.

LM, I dont think it is retractable. I think it has been added to the 3D assuming how it looked. I have seen pictures of it on wheels and on skis, but the tail wheel not visible.
It has two sets of wings.
And sorry, I missed one of your questions in the beginning: No periscope.
And skytrain sigle seat, behind the wing and nothing interchangeable (as far as I understand).

Interesting machine, as you say, tandem wing is probably the best description.
LM. thanks for the offer, but I'll leave it at Open House unless you want to wait 30 mins or so whilst I prepare something.
