I found a good buy on a flying Dyke Delta. Growing family, etc.


I like that plane, almost decided to build one, but instead started
building the Wag Aero Sportsman 2+2. More tubing to cut during lunch
today, it seems to never end.

The only concern I had about the Dyke Delta and the reason I didn't build
one was that it might not be suitable for landing on shorter grass strips,
or short runways in general. I guess I was also a bit concerned about the
closeness of the tail to the ground as well.

I took a couple pics of John's Dyke at Oshkosh, I think it's a great plane
and if I were to build a second one this would be it.

Not to be nosy, but after you buy it you should post a couple pics of it
on a website. The Dyke isn't a common find and is unique.
