You could certinly set it up for right seat flying no problem...Of
course most patterns are left and with a low wing plane you do not get
quite the visibilty but its not a big deal I don't think.
Like you I learned to fly control wheel in the left hand...I instantly
changed to stick in the righ no problem...Now with the RV I have to
change back again and I'm very nervous about going the other way...Smile

There's a guy with an HDS based at a nearby airport that built his plane to
be flown from the right seat. It can be done and it probably won't make much
difference in flyability. In any case, I find it's not too difficult to
switch hands and fly with my left hand on the stick while writing with my
right or reaching for controls that are out of reach of my left hand. Two
fingers on the stick is all it takes to keep it straight and level.

Why not just trim it up and let it fly itself?

Hello List,
Any thoughts about setting up the panel and pedals for right
seat flying, or is this a silly thought. It would allow the
pilot to control the plane left handed and the right hand
would be free to control radio's and write ATC calls. Cockpit
view is so good that flying left or right patterns wouldn't
make much of a difference, any other concerns ?
Regards,
Maarten

How soon you forgot how to drive (as a teenager) with a girlfriend... I think is easier to write a little note in a plane,... I am sure... Smile Smile
