I think one little point that Agexpert is missing is that the deaf people went to the club for help. Not the other way around. The club found a way to communicate that was not verbal or visual. speaking would have been useless as the two guys are deaf and visually I.E. signing the instructions also near useless as they needed to be focused on the plane. (correct me where I go wrong won't you Agexpert) That leaves room for innovation, which is what it looks like this club had plenty of to allow these guys to fly safely. Ag, your problem is what?? You say that you have lots of friends that are deaf and willing to learn to fly, well how do you teach them then? this is what the thread is about not about you and your token friends. So lighten up and fly.
