        There is a disable pilots organization and I posted the
information about a gathering in Minn. this month.

        The primary reason that you are most likely getting the
run around by the FI's is that they don't know or down want to
take the time to know.  Depending on the aircraft there are
numerours type approved hand controls to fly everything from a
Cessan 172 to a Beech Baron.  Some aircraft like the old aircoup
are crosslinked and can be controlled with just the yoke.

        Where have you been doing you flying and in one type of
aircraft?  There is a fellow here in Delawsre who was
instructioning several years ago.  Lots of times it is good to
tie into a private instructor who belongs to a club.  You buy a
block of time from the club on his account and you both benefit

        If you want to discuss this further keep in touch.
