Default RE: Flying Sitting Down ?

G'day John. Inspirational. I have a friend who also spends a lot of time in a wheel chair and he too flies from the sitting position. If I get a chance I will show your photos to him.

He has had a lot of trouble over the years with his flying and lately he has not been flying much but this might just be the little prod he needs to get back to it again.

A question if I may. What is the oldtimer doing the low pass? Looks a bit like a Playboy in the wing and pylon departments but has a simpler fuse.

Cheers

PS, I once tried to fly a small 049 powered control line model by holding the handle in my teeth. It actually worked and raised a few eyebrows.
