Yes, this guy makes a lot of interesting videos on YouTube.
But his "spacecraft" is a typical RC "kite" with flat plate aerofoil.
Even a rectangular piece of foam will fly as long as the CG is right, and the control surfaces are trimmed for a slight positive angle of attack. This is the basis for all kinds of designs like flying buffalo, flying go-kart, flying truck, etc. etc.
The holes on the leading edges are like fixed slats / permanent slots, as used on the WW2 German Fieseler Fi 156 Storch.------------------------------
