Thanks! I am paralyzed from my armpits down and have no grip or finger movement. I designed a set of clamp on hand controls similar to what's in my car. I use a hoist from the hanger beams to enter and exit. I have various modifications to switches, throttle cable, hand brake etc. It took awhile, but it works very well.

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,
