Good Evening Everyone,
Purchased an RV-6 about 8 months ago and its been an absolute dream. My first aircraft and first exposure to tailwheel time. All other time comes from military time so this has been an absolute pleasure to learn and grow as an aviator.
It has got me thinking however, I have what I understand to be the standard throttle quadrant and body in the center of the panel between the two seats. I fly from the left seat so that ends with my left hand on the stick and my right hand on the throttle, While I can and have been doing this for the past few months, I was curious if anyone hand any experience converting to a left throttle body and how that conversion went. If the conversion was worth it, and any lasting effects or pains that have occurred due to the modification.
I would love to keep my professional and personal flying consistent in terms of hands, and hand on throttle is way more enticing when its in a more natural body position for me.
Thanks in advance!
