Left or Right

Hi,

I was wondering for those right-handed pilots, who fly aircraft with a control column as opposed to a yoke, are you using your right or left hand in the circuit.

Effectively my first lesson was 12 or so circuits which I flew with with my right hand. However, since I am still learning the feel of the aircraft this was quite a high workload. Now the controls that I must use with my right hand, flaps and pitch control, entail a swap of hands just after TO at 200 ft or so and on finals again 400 or 500 feet. Of course this made the task of flying the circuit a little harder.

What do others do?

Thanks
