Ok, you all may laugh at me for this one...I've been flying my entire life as a lefty. And by lucky coincidence, I AM a left handed. One of the happiest days of my aviation life was the first time I looked in the trainer I was about to fly and saw it had to be flown left handed. Felt like cheating somehow, since everything else in the world was made for all you "wrong" paws. lol.
So, my conundrum. I've taken the dive and purchased an RV-8. My father and I had planned on building but sadly he passed away, leaving my interest in driving rivets sadly lacking. I'd rather just FLY. So...since I am adopting someone else?s pride and joy, has anyone any experience in converting a RV to a RIGHT side throttle quadrant? I see folks set 6s up for left hand throttle operation and am wondering how tough it would be to do the opposite on an 8?
Thanks for any and all advice. And Keith, if you are reading this, "just reach down and grab a pair and fly right handed like the rest of us" doesn't COUNT! hehe.
