I love tractors and planes! I've not flown post wheelchair life but dad used to be a flight instructor here in small single engine aircraft, I do in fact have some log book flying hours in a couple of the planes, a Cessna 152 and a piper cherokee archer 2 I think it was. Helicopter I've never been in [emoji174][emoji174]
We flew the piper to a pub once, landed in a paddock belonging to a friend of dads, got out, jumped fence and crossed road to a pub. Coolest thing I think have ever done really haha.
I drive Dads tractor sometimes. Harder now so I don't often, but will use a broom to.work pedals. I'd love to drive a big fancy one. His is a little old ford tractor [emoji609]Quote:

I owned and flew helicopters when I was young and stupid, now old but still stupid! They are horrible things until you master them, and then they become like Land Rovers, get into your blood! You could probably get a small fixed wing modified like you have with your car, but helicopters are entirely different to fly, and cannot be flown without sensitive use of the pedals. (all controls for that matter)Quote:

The brake pedals were on the right, and I don't know how he managed those?

So, this will make some of you super happy, but my dad gave me some centre caps [emoji16]

It may pay to silicone them on so as not to lose them om corrugated Roads. Or other nefarious means like your Dad did if, you get my drift, but be removable when necessary.
Soz Mr Dragon, no offence meant.:Thump::Rolling:
