Ok, here is a possibly silly question, written for my own amusement but I still wouldn't mind an actual answer.
In the RV-8, why does most everyone put their radios on the right side of the panel? Makes no sense to me since you are flying right handed. Would seem to make more sense to stack em all on the left since that hand is pretty much free.
Is it simply that most people are righties and therefor more inclined to diddle the knobs with their "good" hand?
Is it just tradition no one seems willing to break?
Its it because in Thailand you dare not shake with the left hand because its used for...um...well...
Will the aviation gods strike thee down in rightous wrath should one vary from the norm?
Laying out my new panel now and after realizing I was doing the same thing I am wondering WHY I am bothering to stick it all on the right. lol.
