It looks like a decent build. I'd have some worries about the wheels. Those look like tadpole trike/wheel chair hubs with bike rims. That plane is at least 400lbs, and then pilot, and fuel... I wonder if the wheels will hold up. That was a problem for early ultralights that were doing essentially the same thing.
