Three seats across the front, pilot sits on left (no room for collective otherwise).

Generally the pilot needs to keep hold of the cyclic, and can let go of the collective to change radio freqs or scratch b@lls. Having to change hands when in the left seat can be confusing - was I changing frequencies, or having a scratch?

Movies - don't believe them, they always have the Huey sound for rotor noise and a C20 for an engine, no matter what machine is in shot.
