Jim,

No offense, quit whining . . . have you considered Lefty Aversion Therapy?

We used to have a "don't ask don't tell" policy here at Bumper Soaring (or BS for short). Under intense political pressure, we had to end that. We still do our best to force all MKIV's from the same mold, ambidextrous and "straight". Unfortunately, we've noted a few with left leaning tendancies, some mostly go to the right, and nearly all, if given half an opportunity, will quite happily go both ways.

Yes, it's a source of embarrasement for us and for some MKIV owners. You may even notice in YouTube videos that many of these same owners will carefully edit out any shots where their MKIV is, um, wildly playing the field so to speak.

How typical. It's always OUR problem. We've learned to live in a right
handed world. Is it really to much to ask for you to consider our
plight? You're probably against lefties marrying each other too.
