The rig itself can be rotated just slightly to position the paddle appropriately (about 15 degrees to the left for a right-handed operator). In practice this works so well that we're sticking with 90 degrees for now. An angled paddle could also be designed if there were demand for it. There were no complaints among testers at Dayton, and I've been using it like this for a week.
