Re: Lefties...

Nearly got chopped on my mil rotary course for overcontrolling, instructor eventually spotted I was a leftie and gave me more time to "train" my right (cyclic) hand to be more sensitive and hence stop the overcontrolling
Never heard so much boll**s in my life. Right handed persons have to learn to use their left hand for the collective (which is new to them).
Flying a helo has never had anything to do with being left or right handed
Mind you in this new (PC) world, I wouldn't be surprised if there is an extra time slot added to a course for being too short, tall, fat, dull, airsick,.insomniac, or even....normal.

I think what the instructor was trying to tell you was that you might be better at using your right hand elsewhere than flying a helo!!!
