Reversing hands on controls?
G'day gang,
Had a discussion recently about possibility and problems while trying to drive helo using left hand for cyclic and right hand for collective. Some skilled guys told that this is commonly possible for most pilots after intensive special training while others state that this may lead to unexpected errors in critical condition for most flyers. They also told that some high grade CFIs use to demonstrate this from left seat using right seat collective (Tim Tucker for one).
I was also told that there may be some ready conclusions about human mentality which explain difficulties.
Amy inputs/links on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
I'm asking since I was asked to instruct in a side-by-side gyroplane which has only central throttle so left pilot needs to control it by his right hand which looks a bit weird for me.
Thanks in advance,
