A well-grounded suspicion at that. My first thought was that somebody backed it into a wall, but going back and looking again—it appears to be attachment points for a horizontal stabilizer. In the video in pre-development phase they were much smaller, and so probably sorely needed. Also the front wings are retracted/able.

No love for the 1-cylinder diesel reverse trike? It's all tailfin. The guy even says it couldn't be improved on today.

Being built for full European type approval, the development of the Rasa was supported by a £2 million (US$2.85 million) grant from the Welsh government... the company will be running a public 12-month trial of a fleet of 20 Rasa prototypes. It is expected that the outcome of this on-going development will result in the launch of a full production model to market sometime in 2018.
