If I recall the Saitek cyborg, or the evo, whichever is the ugly-arsed looking futuristic one, has parts that can be moved to align for either right or left hand. Mind you, because of this it's none too comfortable, but it does allow it.

If you fly left handed you'll always circle to the right.

I suggest using both hands so you can fly straight and level.

...which remids me..

 What happens in real military machines?

 Do they only accept right-handed pilots?

 Or do left-handed pilots learn to fly it that way?

 Or do they modify the cockpits for the left handed?

Im a lefty, And as many Left handed people will tell you, You just tend to learn how to do alot more things with your right hand than you wish to.

As for actual Left handed sticks, I havent seen any my self, except for the ones that people convert themselves. I ended up getting a Saitek X52 (Right handed) setup. I wanted the Throttle control, and I looked for a little while but wasnt able to find a setup for the left handed pilot.

But other than that. Some of the Saiteks, and some of the Logictech Sticks are designed for either hand.
