Maybe it's just me, but being right-handed and using a stick, feels completely different & and un-natural versus holding a yoke in say a C-172. In other words, I have no problems with the throttle being in the middle on the 172, and using my right hand to control it. However, on a stick plane (such as the -7 I am building), it just feels completely un-natural to use my left hand on the stick and right hand on the throttle. I am thinking the throttle will have to go over on the left. I have seen people build both ways, but the throttle sure seems like it should be in the middle of the panel. Is this something familiar to any of you?
In another example, although it is not 'real', I can fly my MS Sim all night using my right hand on the joystick. But when I try to fly using my left hand on the stick, I can barely even keep the thing going doing the center of the runway.
Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks.
