Now, hold your left hand out, palm down, and put it on top of your imaginary steering wheel or Ercoupe pretzel yoke. Note that your thumb is to the right. Your thumb is just about right to push on a PTT that's attached at the 2:00 o'clock position and angled down. I do, indeed, fly with my left hand, using my right hand for all the other miscellaneous switches, controls and throttle. No sweat. I think you just missed something in the visualization. Ed
