Can anyone guess which wing concept I am testing here? 

HINT: The propeller is sucking air through the red 3D printed part and is producing lift.

A channel wing ?

CORRECT! Just running a few tests to see if it'll be viable to use on a radio controlled aircraft.

For the wheely device. Use a potentiometer to control the angle. You can then make changes as you test. For the body position use a string and a self retracting mechanism. With a magnet attached one end to your chest. Attach the other end to the handle bar or on the frame just below. Now to have to measure the change in string length to compensate for body position.

I want to suggest experimenting with a squirrel cage fan. I recall seeing one integrated into the leading edge of a wing... I'm wondering if you could maybe get better performance from a straight wing with it.
