Hi! Patrick
I have always naturally been right handed however I have adapted to the
stick control with the left with total instinctive ease. There is no way
I would have my right hand doing anything but multipurpose functions,
mostly throttle, and similarly I wouldn't have the right hand involved
with finger brakes when you have two instinctive legs on the pedals of
my trike. However mono may be different. I have stick top control of
pitch trip, and radio mic.so the left hand is busy but there ain't any
way I'm going to write with my left !

I have had a couple of replies to my previous question of how to fit a
left
hand throttle. Neither of those received seemed very satisfactory and I
wonder if there are any other ideas around, or even mods that have
already been
approved.
Has anyone tried a simple Bowden Cable from a left to existing right
hand
throttle - it would have to attach below the pivot point to the left
and above
to the right, thus moving both in unison.? I have seen a similar
arrangement
in a Pulsar, that worked well.
If this could be done, does anyone have any detail of how to fix a
throttle
box and lever on the port side wall? I admit to being a novice at
working in
glass or indeed any composites.
I think that the present basic situation of flying with the left hand
and
using the right for the throttle is unnatural for most people and would
welcome
more ideas to resolve this issue.
Patrick.
