The Robin 2160 will soon be available with EASA handcontrol for rudder and brakes.  The UK dealer is bringing the demonstrator (not fitted with handcontrol) to Lasham this Saturday afternoon 1:30 p.m. 17 November.  It would be really useful if members with different disabilities could come along to see how easy it is to get in and out of the aircraft.  We may consider operating this type in the future, as it has a reputation of being a very pleasant aircraft to fly and operate. 
 
It would be particularly interesting to see if it is accessible for spinally injured aviators.  According to our friends in France it is better than it looks, and transfer is possible onto the wing leading edge.
 
Let me know if you can come along. 
 
Kind regards,
Mike Miller-Smith

Leonard Cheshire Disability campaigns to change the way people think about, and respond to, disability. Creature Discomforts is one way they hope to do that. It’s a series of animations based on the experiences of real disabled people.

If you havent seen these TV ads click here to see the videos for yourselves - Wallace & Grommit animators Aardman have taken a look at disability from their point of view and the results are hilarious!
