Thanks for the response, Clandestino. This almost answers my question. However, since most people are not ambidextrous, I was curious whether it makes a significant difference in feel and ability to the pilot if he or she is using the joystick on the left versus the one on the right?
Given that I am extremely clumsy when I have to do things with my left (e.g., handwriting), it would seem that this would be a usability issue in cockpit design. But, from what I have been told, it seems not to be one for professional pilots.
If so, how does one explain that?
Thanks again for any pointers.
