This is the nice thing I promised for you. Controls: TRIM bar to control the landing legs. VTOL to control the thrusters (don't) and otherwise normal controls. This version doesn't include the service module or the Falcon 9 rocket but both will hopefully be included in future versions.It also includes gyros from @RadarJamJar and gyro pod by @BaconAircraft. Now for the Wikipedia (credit: Wikipedia). Dragon 2 (also Crew Dragon, Dragon V2, or formerly DragonRider) is the second version of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which will be a human-rated vehicle able to make a terrestrial soft landing. It includes a set of four side-mounted thruster pods with two SuperDraco engines each, which can serve as a launch escape system (or launch abort system (LAS)) or be used for propulsive landings. Also, it has much larger windows, landing legs which extend from the bottom of the spacecraft, new flight computers and avionics, and redesigned solar arrays, all packaged in a spacecraft with a changed outer mold line from the initial cargo Dragon that has been flying for several years.
