Congratulations on solo! Hey, it took me 20 hours with all four of my limbs. Still remember it well, like most pilots I imagine. If you have not done so before, would you mind explaining how you do control the plane? How much movement do you have? Thanks, Ralph Finch N6359V Davis, California

I soloed today after about 30 hours of instruction over the last 10 months. As most of you know, I'm disabled (C-5 quadriplegic) and to the best of my knowledge (and I've looked hard) the only quad that has done so. Most of the disabled pilots you hear about are paraplegic. Due to their ground breaking work, I was able to build on it and achieve this goal. Everybody on this forum helped, encouraged, cautioned and generally were invaluable. THANK YOU TO ALL....
