The Fike Model D was a light aircraft built in the United States in the early 1950s.
Designed by airline pilot William Fike,[1] it was a conventional high-wing strut-braced monoplane with tailskid undercarriage and seating for one or two people in an enclosed cabin.
In appearance, the aircraft strongly resembled a Piper Cub, with only the tail surfaces sourced from one.
[2] An unusual feature was that the flight controls were mounted to the ceiling of the cabin, rather than the floor.
[3] This facilitated the folding or removal of the seat or seats to enable the aircraft's use as a sleeping space when camping with it.
