cirrus aircraft

I ferried a Cirrus 20 from Charlotte NC to San Diego and really enjoyed
it....learing to use the side yoke was not as difficult as I had thought.

I will say I used the autopilot almost all the time (except of course for
take-off and landing). If not for the autopilot, I suspect my forearm would
have been killiing me after about 4 hours.

A left handed tennis player with strong forearms would definately have an
advantage here....lol

Initially, I found it to be overly sensitive and I even had a little
problem flying straight-and-level. After practice, it's quite
comfortable to fly and requires much less motion to maneuver the plane.
I don't use two hands on flights control anyway.

What about flying long flights? It would seem to me that not being able
to
switch hands, would mean a very tired left hand.
