Info:

The JD-2 Delta (Dyke Delta)was a small plane that John Dyke built so that it would be small enough to fit inside of his garage, the first version (JD-1 delta) was lost in a crash so he made a 2nd version that used some of the parts that were recovered from the first model.

Controls:

Normal plane controls, this is not a special plane, just a cool looking one I found in an Air and Space magazine.
