Are you responding to the search for ID for my question or some other wing?
As to the wing I asked about above, notice the upper vertical fin or vertical stabilizer: it is above the wing, not below.
Jonathan Dietch said the wing was not one of his; he invited me to ask Floyd Fronius. Floyd did not know. Floyd directed me to ask Mario. Mario, an expert over Aolus; Mario noted the subject wing was not an Aolus and not a Sea-Lander.

Hi Joe,
That isn't an Aolus or any prototype. At first I thought it might be one of Mike Sandlin's experiments, but now think it
is probably someone else's. Interesting to note that it looks like the person took an existing wing and spread it apart
to get the wider nose angle, add the middle splice and tail, and make it a bowsprit.
I'd ask Mike if he knows.
Do you have a year for this picture?
Best,
Mario

Joe,
Btw, it is definitely not a Sea-lander for the reasons I mentioned before. Odd name for a h g as
we generally want to avoid landing in the sea! Still I think it looks like a home built, although there were many
copies made around the world of the Aolus, and others, like Dietch, came up with the idea because
of natural evolution of the hang glider as it delt with the earlier divergent designs.
Mario
Mike Sandlin,
What say you?
TIA,
Joe
