Was it the Wright Bros who caused us pilots to have to learn to operate aircraft rudders in reverse? Did it come about because of the difficulty in crossing over the rudder control wires?
What bollocks

Three explanations for this .....

(1) You've been out in the sun too long mate

(2) The trauma of losing the RUWCF to the Poms has sent you temporarily insane

(3) Its the effect of a reversed Coriolis effect thru living on the other side of the world

Try this for size .... you want to hand signal a left turn on a bike ... you stick your left hand out... vice versa for right.

In a plane, you want left yaw etc etc....
