It's been two years since the plane was last put on display outside. At that time there was no fabric on the wings and some other miscellaneous things still were unfinished.

In the picture on the left, the bar his feet are resting on is the gas pedal. The pilot must run the engine wide open while in flight because it needs all the power available to support the weight of the plane plus the 500 pound load it's designed to carry.
