Default RE: Newbie question

anyone who has questions, ask away!

i've been a quadriplegic for 2.5 years and have learned to do quite a bit. after the accident, i was depressed pretty bad...but after the depression, i got the attitude that i wont let this disability get in my way. i learned to drive my Losi XXX-T MFE again...and i still haven't lost the touch . i cant work on everything on my own but i can suprisingly do a majority of the work. i think the airplane controllers are easier to use than the pistol grips. i simply set the controller on my lap an put the sticks between fingers or use my palms. the Parkzone controller is harder to use but to control the throttle i use my palm (i put my gloves on that i use to push my wheelchair that have rubber grips on the palm). i may buy a different radio set-up for the P-51 since a controller with two sticks is easier to use. i might get someone to take pics of me using the controllers sometime...

on the Parkzone P-51 there is a switch to control the responsiveness(sp?) so it is easier to learn.

...i just started building 1/48th scale models too...by the way [8D]

the one thing i haven't done yet is drive my car. that will take money i dont have[]
