s1buell_wl Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Have a question. I'm left handed but fly with right handed throttle control. I fly a Dudek Nucleon 29m. Now I'm having some uncomfortably with the throttle, break and grabbing wing tip steering when needed. I'm looking to get the Cameleon digital throttle control to help out but the big question is should I get the left hand control instead of the right as its best to spiral and do hard turns to the torque side. I'm thinking if I get the left control it will be one less thing in the right hand. Anyone try this before? thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyfreefly Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 No not at all it feels more natural to me . ....if you gave me a right hand throttle I would struggle ( and I did ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I know one guy who switched to left handed with the Cameleon and said it became instinctive within a few minutes. I considered it (as better for camera work) but since you aren't actually holding anything the rest of your hand is free for other stuff anyway. Reckon it is probably the easiest way if you want to change throttle hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poz Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have just fitted a right handed cameleon finger throttle. I thrashed around trying to decide whether to go right hand or convert to left. But after much consideration and as I take a lot of SLR photos, I decided that a right handed throttle would work better for me. I really like this throttle and the right handed one was clearly the right decision for photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I use left hand throttle- pretty good for camera use, etc.. I find that my turn direction for reverse launching is influenced by this- i always turn to the left to launch. While i think switching hands would be easy enough- getting used to turning to the right would be harder to get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
