Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Hand controls

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.
