May 31st I was able to edit someone elses post ubder another persons log in. All this by mistake. At the time I was trying to posr a respnse. Joe

The next step is to understand how to build/find a handcontrol for the Mooeny. Anyone have a lead for me? PM me. Thanks

Thanks this is novel idea to me. Never considered loading from the front of the wing. Joe

Thanks Jose'. Over the years I've fiqured out how to get myseklf in and out of many types, including the Mooney. With care I can manage moving myself up the wing walk way. The trickiest part is keeping any weight off the flap. Joe

Are there any other thoughts on this topic ? Joe

I am a paraplegic (T11) and understand there are a few folks flying Mooneys with handcontrols. If you are aware of any pilots flying with hand controls or are a para like me, any info is helpful. Some background; 1200 hrs PIC, Commercial license, instrument rated, all in Cessna aircraft of one model or another. Have owned a 152, 182 and a 182RG. After years of watching my buddy fly away from me in his 201, at a fraction of the fuel burn, I am ready to move up to a better cross country machine. Any help is most appreciated. Joe
