Thanks everyone and thanks Tim for the pics too! You have given me some
good ideas. I'll let you all know if The Ideas actually materialize into a
working "quad friendly" device.

Controllers- I forgot to attch the pics.... doh!
I am not aware of a hands-free remote, but I have an idea for you. Try a
mounting whatever on a board; depends on your level of injury.
I opened owned and ran a hobby shop 2 yrs. after my accident; and we had
remote controlled car and monster truck races, we even had a pulling sled
for the trucks. Anyway- being 2 yrs. post I was still trying to adapt to my
quad thumbs, all ten of them.... haha! I started with the standard stick
control on my lap; then we put the stick control on a square 1/8 inch piece
of sanded plywood, and then boxed it in with thick rubber that was sticky on
one side, this held the remote in place. I later had a machinist make some
extensions that we put in the slots that replaced the original controller
sticks. We drilled holes in some wooden balls we picked up at a craft store;
screwed them into the new machined sticks, and they fit right into the palm
of my hands.
I will have my son run up to the attic and get my board and remote; so I can
take a picture of it, if that would help you. I need that board anyway; we
just got our boy some PS2 games for his b-day that I didn't believe I could
play very well, and I have one of the PS2 controllers strapped on a cutting
board. Oh yeah- Tiger Woods PGA 2010 game rock's; and I am starting to get
it down, just need secure my controller a little more. I will send a pic of
my latest 3 minute. MacGyverism.
I will also attach a pic of my son putting the top on my (our, it's pretty
much his now, he claims it) old Associated RC10 truck, this thing is so
tricked out, it can also be transformed into an off-road car, flat-track or
a even a winged sprint car, right now it is an off-road stadium truck.
Tim- c5-c6; 21 yrs. post next month, time fly's right by when you start to
get old.

Do any of you know about a hands-free rc that can be used for a boat, car,
plane, etc.?
