The Starflight layout would also work well even though it is a pusher.  There is room behind the pilots seat for the chair and he wouldn't have to manuver around the wires to get in.  The attach behind the pilots seat.  The planes should be back in production around the end of this summer.  Roger P

The Weedhopper or similar layout would be about as close to perfect in configuration, the tractor layout would allow the chair to stow behind the pilot. Pulling up and through the wires may not be to difficult for him. Purchase cost of course is going to be a factor, and it's a bit difficult finding someone who is already set up with hand controls for training.
