Able Flight, a non-profit providing sport pilot training to people with significant disabilities, is at Sun N' Fun 2017 educating light sport aircraft makers about the demand for planes adapted for use by persons with disabilities. A basic adaptive airplane requires little more than a hand control for rudders and brakes. Many light sport aircraft already use handbrakes, which eases the conversion. Charles Stites, founder and Exective Director of Able Flight, says, "People are in the market for airplanes. They want to be able to continue flying after they get their license with Able Flight."
