Awesome to read you lefties found the good in a left hand stick. Perhaps that is why center stick cockpits abide even in an age where sidestick controllers like the F-16 and Rafale promise better ergonomics and G tolerance (to righties).
With a centerstick, you’d let go to fiddle with the throttle, or let the throttle go when doing something hard, like aiming the guns or doing formation work. I could even see how a warthog stick could work that way.
