Glen I have had the opportunity to fly a coupe a couple of times. Once with Syd and once with a fellow chapter member who has one. (Both times was a great thrill.) But I don't own a 'coupe, and in fact never got my private. Due to other reasons, I have decided to forgo the PPL route and go Sport Pilot, so I'm (very slowly) building a Sonex and it will also be hand-control equipped.

Contact Mike Smith, at the International Wheelchair Aviators, located in Big Bear CA. I'm sure he would be very happy to help you as best he can IWA: http://www.wheelchairaviators.org/index.html The only other pedal-less airplane that I am aware was the Skyfarer. In fact it had no rudders at all. It was a high-wing, 2 place trike, with twin vertical stabs (like the Ercoupe). I've attached a photo of it and a 2 page description. There weren't a lot of them made, and only a couple still flying I believe.
