anyone who has questions, ask away!
Again, I hate to pry, but you said ask away!
I was under the impression that quadropalegic means you are paralzied from the neck down. My mom's couin's husband was in a car accident and has been in this condition for nearly 30 years. It is amazing some of the stuff he does like paint pictures, use the computer, etc. He does everything with his mouth alone. He has various tools. But I couldn't fathom him flying an RC airplane, at least not with a standard controller.
So you do have some use of your arms and hands I take it?
By the way, how old are you?
You are truly are an inspiration. Great attidude!
it's perfectly fine to ask questions! i'd rather you ask instead of not and wonder.
i burst fractured my 5th cervical vertebrae and have C6 level funstion. i have around half function of my arms. i cannot move any fingers, cant curl my wrist and have no use of my triceps. i have a lot of feeling below my injury but as with all spinal cord injuries, anything i cant use i dont have full feeling of. although everything i cant use has a wierd numbness feeling. back to my arms; i have full function of my shoulders, biceps, and upper wrist flexors.
i'm 21 years old...
shoot away with any questions!!

Hi there! I live in SE IN. There are quit a few clubs in the area that are fairly close to you.
The Hawks - Joyce Park in Hamilton, OH. (paved runways)
GCRCC - North Fairfield (paved runways)
Aero Modelers - South of Harrison on Lawrenceburg Rd. (grass runways)
Air Masters - Mt. Nebo Rd near Shawnee Lookout park. (grass runway) my club
??? (can't remember the name) - Ross, Oh. off Rt. 128 (grass runway)
All of these clubs offer free instructors to teach you to fly. GCRCC has an exceptional training program. You might consider a more traditional trainer to start with, as they will be slower, more stable, and more forgiving. Best of luck and welcome to the sport of R/C.
thanks!! i've been to the one in Joyce Park before...but to the asphault on-road course. i remember when i played baseball at Harrison Jr. Baseball and would always see the planes over the treetops when i was little...
i'll check these places out eventually.
