You are the exeption baswell. It must be because you are a fantastic Pilot. Better than the rest.
Greenie,
With all due respect, bollox!!
During my initial PPL training, I swapped around between throttle in the left hand, stick in the right, and vice versa, and tandem v. side by side, including tandem from the rear seat.
And so did just about everybody else at the time, there was no problem, because nobody told us there was a problem. So we just got on with it, so that by the time you got the PPL, you had already flown all the club aircraft.
Tootle pip!!
