hand on the stick and left hand on the spoilers. Reverse hands from
the right seat. And what about soaring? I now feel after 10 years of
flying the Stemme equally comfortable using either hand on the stick.
There is an advantage in doing this with any large heavy 2 place
glider if you are going fly solo for many hours. That is to avoid one
hand fatigue.

PS Unless you instruct and fly a lot I would not recommend switching
seats and flying from either. These super complex and fairly difficult
to fly machines require flying skills that you have to keep current to
be safe. Randomly switching the PIC seats adds complexity which is not
desirable.
