Attempting to follow the clues above - Michel Colomban's Luciole?
If correct - control should go to you, Bear.

Was the cockpit on the second photo.

that looks Russian blue to me
I think its the Narushevich OW-1 - a truly weird design
I finished up from "Russian Experimental aircraft" to "cool weird planes" on Google and looked at some seriously odd aircraft on the way............

OH if correct

It seems this orange one did never fly.
There is a YouTube film with the other one taking off.
Not very convincing.
OH called
May I call UV to come up with something?
You clearly knew.
When I saw the cockpit picture, I immediately imagined this exchange:
Test pilot: “The ailerons are too heavy.”
Designer: “No problem. We’ll make the yoke wider. “
After seeing that monstrosity, I wonder if I was close to the truth! 😂

And what a ghastly looking yoke arrangement with all those cables, pulleys, linkages and such. How clumsy can it get?
Eeeuwww! I feel for the test pilots of that monstrosity.
Yuropean?
