Default No interest in controls for disabled pilots?




Yep..the one on the top of the page....I got at Wal Mart for about $10...I removed the handle...and installed a long rubber hose that runs up along the back of the glider seat..I just fold and pinch the hose to hold the air....only needs to be full for a short time when entering of exiting..I just use an air gun with a rubber tip attached with an air storage tank. You can go up and down maybe 4 times on a tank of air..The person needs to be able to steady themselves by holding on the the gunwales, or have a helper keep them steady, or else they can tip over while they rise.

I put a thin but firm seat cushion over the water container to make it comfortable to sit on.

I figure the plastic container will eventually crack and leak...so for $10 you get an extra!
