If you have not done so before, would you mind explaining how you do control the plane? How much movement do you have?

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.... Kim Blackseth N2332H Napa, CA Below is my CFI, Mike Walcker and myself, after my solo earlier today. ____________________________________________________________ Looking for insurance?
