And while we are discussing this we may as well examine flying other types where we sit in a different position and use different controls.
Some simple examples.
Piper Cub... sitting in the center with feft hand on throttle and right hand on stick.
Airbus ...or many other types with a side controller.
Helicopters.... where you really do have different controls and also normally fly from right seat.
Just a few examples of different control set ups.
The easy answer is it is no big deal learning to fly any of them... a lot of the problem is worrying to much about different controls and the use there of. Once you start to fly any different machine it really isn't all that difficult.
