Hello everyone. I have my sights on a 14A some day. Unable to build so waiting for the resale market to mature.
Anyway, my "day job" is an airline pilot. Due to many complicated circumstances I have been FO for 22 years with a CA seat still not in sight. That means controlling the airplane with my RIGHT hand and the engines with my LEFT.
On weekends I fly helicopters...Aircraft control (cyclic) in the RIGHT hand, "power" control (collective/throttle) in the LEFT.
If I ever own an airplane I think I feel way more comfortable continuing to do all my aviating the same way (aircraft in right hand, power in left).
Is there any reason all the RVs seem to be built with the pilot on the left side and controlling the aircraft left-handed? Or is it just due to tradition?
Has anyone built an RV (esp a 14A) to be flown primarily from the right seat?
Thanks.
