Hullo Keygrip, how's life down South?
Looking at this question and thinking about it a bit I can recall flying Seminoles both old and new that had one on the left or one on the right, sometimes one on both cowlings, sometimes none at all and occasionally going out with both and coming back with one!
Depends on your maintenance I suppose!
Interchangable cowlings sounds fun, as the mirror would be on the wrong side if you flipped a left side cowling to the right and vica versa (SP?). If you reversed the cowling to make it fit then the mirror would be pointing at the opposite side main gear, so it might still serve a purpose! I rekon they just glued them back wherever and whenever they fell off without thought as to where they might be more useful.....
I liked it on the right as an instructor though. Stops me asking 'You sure?'
