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...

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? Paul XL wings do not archive At 11:32 AM 1/9/2006, you wrote: <maarten.versteeg(at)swri.org> 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...
