No need for rudder control with an Ercoupe, the ailerons and rudders are slaved and act together with movement of the yoke. Its the perfect plane for an armless pilot.

Still, very inspiring, good job Jessica!

Ercoupe!!? They made those in the 1940’s.

Anyway, congrats to Jessica a brave spirit.

No lie: I know a couple; the wife’s grandfather was a qualified pilot who is a deaf-mute!

The tower flashed him the red or green light, and I guess he remained in the local flying area while airborne.
