I haven't seen any 8's with the throttle on the right side. I suppose it could be done but you would have to do a lot of modifying. I'd just as soon learn to be ambidextrous!

This is kinda like the -7 on the LHS story.

I considered (and still do from time to time) putting the controls like that on the Citabria. Stick in RH and throttle on the left. Right now I am thinking about staying ambidexterous like Danny says.

Why would you want the throttle on the right? All stick/tandems are on the left.

My reason for swapping to the left was for this reason. I wanted to be more like the Citabria.
