Blimey, I'm not sure!!!!! Certainly that is not quoted on the text I've got that relates to it! It certainly has a lower set of wings, though!
Edit: the answer is that, yes, it is a sesquiplane!

Just posting one before I went home as I couldn't attend to it earlier 
Off now, had a quick look on Aerofiles for RR's silhouette, but there's a lot to trawl through without info on the donk or the number of seats
I'll be back later!!

Piper J-3/PA-18 wing ? (So, so many aircraft have that airfoil....)
J-3/PA-18 bungee undercarriage ? (So, so many aircraft have that undercarriage...)
Flying agricultural implement/Top dresser/Spray-plane/Aerial Applicator ?
Lycoming power plant ?
Stinson tail ?
Kit-built ?
How many were produced/built ?
How many are presently on the U.S. civil aircraft registration file ?

It says where?
I think it is a Piper J-3/PA-18 modified for ag-work... At present, I am unsure if it is serial-specific non-Piper produced aircraft. Several in-house mods have been produced on this venerable airframe. Still, it is on my top-ten list of best aircraft ever produced.

Good morning/evening/night 
The only thing I've found is the Aeromod Loadstar Model 100
Loadstar Model 100
If that's what it is (and I see it has a different Reg, so there must have been more than a one-off), I think that Brian should take the win as I wouldn't have found it without his lead!

Morning Mate.
Well, this is interesting.
I like your shot, but I have checked the US register as above and that's what it says.
Having said that, I agree with your comments re. Brian.
The question is - when will we see Martin? Are we going to run with it as it is or wait?
edit - I note that Proberts' refers to it as a biplane, so where did Martin get the sequiplane from when I asked him?

The answer to "where" is Billings, Montana. OPEN HOUSE

Happy Clam shaving 
, goodnight Canada and sleep well 
!!
It does mention a lower wing, which is what he first said, but I guess there must be other references, it is on Aerofiles sans picture (but as a two seater, so I missed it first pass), otherwise maybe in Air Pictorial or similar, I'm busy at the moment and there aren't many about, so I'll wait and see if RR turns up and says what is is!
Catchya later LM.
