I did think about this before answering, and I have to say that I would much
prefer the fast and well trained brain over either the left or right
hand..... anytime.  Most instinctive reactions occur in the brain and have
very little to do with the hands, legs, or other parts of the anatomy.  The
brain tells the limbs what to do and they obey with very little concious
effort.  You'd be totally amazed at how well your body can overcome dominant
left and right hands.  Ask someone who is left-handed, or ask someone who
has had an injury to their dominant hand that rendered it useless for a long
period of time.  The other side just pipes right in there with very little
clumsiness.

I don't have the problem that you all are talking about because I am left
handed and the factory configuration is fine for me.  I like the suggestion
from the person who said to install duals on both left and right cockpit
position and choose whichever side you like the best.  This way someone
won't be shy or hesitant to fly your plane or purchase it when and if you
sell it.
