Was this a left handed or right handed landing attempt?
Left-Handed, but apparently there was no brain-half connection to anything. I was rolling both my dominant and subservient eyes after hearing the tic-tic-tic thru my high-powered left ear although the blade was rapping the pavement on the right. The Bose headset did not cut out the subsequent grinding noises.

PS Thanks for the left-handed query. When I built and flew my Quad Cities tandem seat Challenger II, it was set up for left hand throttle and right hand stick for the following reasons:
1. I could write down ATC directions without switching hands.
2. I could more naturally scratch my nose.
3. I could remind myself that this was no Lancair I was flying.
4. Frankly, I could learn to do anything with either hand, remembering that you should make no overly quick moves, whilst flying, without due forethought. My recent experience indicates that forethought should never be abandoned.
PPS I also shoot with either hand. Target acquisition is best done left-handed since I am left eye dominant. The process of shooting and reloading is best done holding the weapon in my right, using my left to jam in the next clip and steady the weapon whilst my specially trained off-finger works the discharge mechanism. All depends on what's important at the moment.
