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 FinchN6359VDavis, California

Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Kim's Solo

All...

Been a pretty good day at my house. 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....

Below is my CFI, Mike Walcker and myself, after my solo earlier today.
