I can’t imagine that performed well on the ground OR in the air.

If I was in that and it was flying, it’d give me the Willys.

It seems it did not fly badly at all. The rotor was not powered and there was no propeller either for propulsion so it should be considered an autogyro glider, like this one:

Regarding its performance on land, I imagine the tail (and most likely the screen too) were detachable.

Curiously enough yesterday BBC News showed a video talking about it: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180510-a-combat-machine-built-to-jump-over-enemy-lines

The one shown in a museum is a replica.
