Inspired by Duckwing, I made a holder for my phone. Having been paralyzed recently, I learned through therapy that adaptation
is possible, if you set your mind to it. I will post diagrams if there is any interest. I am still testing and am open to ideas and suggestions. Simple, cheap, easy to make. I am certain there are bigger brains than mine out there!

I will fine tune my drawings.And post a s a p.Basically it's a box to hold the phone and a handle attached to the side-bottom to hold it in proper position. It enables 1 finger control, or even a pencil in the mouth using the eraser to control buttons.

Foam lined box. A left over wood gift box. Cardboard would work. Reinforce cardboard at side/bottom to attach handled.
Short dowel for handle with bike handgrip. Screw thru box to dowel.
Total cost: $0.00

That's pretty much it!

(Now for the cup holder)

Unfortunately, I haven't seen him. His story inspired my train of thought.

Calvin there many others like duck. Few weeks ago I met a 9year old who found out he had cancer, the doc said his body is in bad condition. And they did everytimg they could but anything could happen. He was a great fighter. His name started with b :( and the worat part is that he didnt find out he was sick untill a week before the doc told him (written above)

Thats awful. Kids that young havent done anything to deserve that, why not give cancer to someone whos 80 years old, and will die of age before cancer? Crappy luck.... :(:(:(:(

Yeah, i know, ive met lots of vets/amputees.

Wait, fly, im curious: how do you know about duckwing? He wasnt ever active on the forum, he only had like nine posts.

If anyone sees him, ask him to join a squad! Try to get him involved in the community again. :):) even with one hand and no legs, he was still better than me. :) only player i didnt get mad at for spawnkilling with a tank. He always just said he was resting his arm. :)
See you in the skies!

Here's a photo of my phone holder made out of the orginal box it came in.
Little screwdriver is grip. You can use a door knob or really anything. Some tape and time is all it cost! It really helps. This is the rough version. New electrical tape and it looks better, too.
Slot at end allows charger to be plugged in.

My brother also has one hand and is 16. He's used to this becouse it was a birth defect. He is even learning to play the trumpet with his only left hand. Next school year he will be learning violin. He is a inspration to me at times like this.

Make him one of these and get him flying with us. He can use a pencil with eraser held in his mouth to control throttle and fire buttons. With a little practice he can chat during flight. He'll be an inspiration to us all!

Thats really cool, fly! How do you fire and type if you hold it on the handle? And do you leave it in there full time?

Just wanted to bring this back up if anyone needs a little assistance.
If you need help with anything else to make your flying easier just ask. Many brains here to help with ideas.
