Hi All
A Question about Boom Mics. Why are they always mounted on the right
side of the cockpit? Is there any reason for not being able to mount
them on the Left side.
Thanks
Randy


Just a guess, but in the cramped cockpit, it's easier to cross your
opposite hand over to the mic than having it on the same side as the
adjusting hand. The right hand is usually busy holding the control
stick, so that leaves the left hand to adjust the boom.
