Don't mind either way to be honest.

But stick on the tail wheel and yoke on the tri seems as good a plan as any.

I really do think though that anything should already have some thought put into mods for disabled pilots from the beginning. If you put a very small amount of thought into it before testing adding in say an extra control port on a master cylinder for example it means that that things can be jigged for individuals easily.

And don't think that disabled pilots are a small group with limited appeal.

To put it bluntly its a market with quite a bit of cash in it if you put the effort in to allow that market to access your aircraft. Just now though its bloody expensive for the mods and most schools won't put the effort into getting the plane sorted. If there were kits that come pre-approved through the intial certification testing it would make life a whole heap easier.
