Modifications to any model (including trikes) would allow your friend to fly an LSA.
The main thing is for training he may want to buy an aircraft which has been modified already for him and train in it.
For instance if he started training in a regular trike, they would use feet to control all the steering and brakes and right foot controls the throttle (besides hand throttle) so it would not be easy for him to train in it.
We have a guy coming here from a foreign country soon to learn to fly trikes who like your friend has no use of his legs.
