why would he build it like that? looks like a rotating center, but if the front leans, and the rear is one-wheel, then it will automatically lean....just don't get the complexity.

It's got a prop at the center - the blades are furled.

I dont get it ?
Its a trike, why does he need the "trainer" wheels ?
This was obviously before he decided to install the mid mounted folding prop...(and use a chock of wood as a stand ?) :roll:

Additional training wheels aren't so upcommon on those trikes, they're antitip.
