Default RE: Question for instructors

I have good use of one leg so I don,t use the legrests and my usual mode of propulsion is kicking myself along backward with the one good one and a little help from the other. Flying the Ukies has worked out well as long as I am on concrete or pavement Then its just a matter of kicking around with the good leg. All my ships now have thottle that is controlled with a Bill Young three channel electronic handle. The digitized info is sent over the insulated lines. This is neccessary so I can terminate when ever i want.

A few years back I did some public shows with the Ukies and one of the gags was to carry a lawn chair out with me and at some point sit down and proceed to do a bunch of horizontal eights then pop up and land. Maybe this was bad charma. Anyway the wheelchairs easier, Got wheels.
