I fly both, sitting on the right works for me especially now that I have a side stick in the fixed wing and "point" it where I want it to go.

Sitting in the left seat and trying to fly with the left hand is a little conversion in itself I am told .

Why do Capt`s sit in the left on Fixed Wings? Maybe so the right hand was free to cuff the surly FO`s and or backhand the FE back in the 30`s. See - it all boils down to CRM .

So what was the first dual side by side and who sat where, Wright flyer?
