Well here's another viewpoint.
With about 400 hrs on Yaks (and Chipmunk before that) throttle on left and stick in right is to me the most natural way. Most older and mil-type aircraft are configured this way. Right handed people will have more dexterity in that hand and it seems to make more sense to have it on the control column.
Flew a Bulldog from the LH seat recently and that did feel strange - I'd certainly prefer to occupy the RH seat.
Why was the LH seat chosen as the command seat in the first place? I seem to remember that in rotary wing, RH is command seat because that is the side of the advancing blade which produces more lift and in smaller, earlier machines it made more sense to put the weight on that side.
