Hi Gang
There is another current thread on the Taurus concerning from which seat does the PIC usually fly and which hand is on the stick. Well the Stemme poses similar questions. On takeoff from the left seat I use my left hand on the stick with right hand on the throttle. Landing right 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. Dave 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.
