I have a spinal cord tumor and have very little feeling, and limited range of motion, in my hands and arms. My legs are affected but I am able to walk fairly well without assistance.

I have a transmitter tray with hand rests, and I use the "joystick" knobs from this page

I sit on a metal shop stool while flying.

I have a hard time assembling/disassembling my models at the field. I'd actually be afraid to try to start any of my engines. If I do get cut, or burned, I do not feel it.

My brother and I fly together and he takes care of getting the planes set up and ready to go.

When I first joined the club I worked with the the club instructors. If my brother was not there, anything I couldn't do, they were always willing to help. One of the best things about being involved in RC is the people you meet.

I sometimes lose contact with the sticks and think I'm moving them when I'm not. I also tend to accidentally move the throttle/rudder stick without realizing I'm doing it. Because of this I'll always be on a trainer cord. I've had several complete flights (takeoff to landing) where my brother never had to take control. I've had a lot more where he's had to save it.

Enough about me

One of our club members has to use an electric scooter to get around. He devised a tow rope for times his engine dies on the runway. If he ends up somewhere his scooter cannot go, someone runs out to help him.
