I learned to fly in a PA12. Right hand stick, left hand throttle. I transitioned to helicopter, same thing plus collective in the left hand. Later, when I transitioned to Cessnas, it was not hard to fly with the yoke in the left and use the right hand for the throttle. Flying with either hand with a yoke seems natural, but for some reason if I switch hands in an airplane with a stick it feels weird. Probably because I haven't done it much.
