I know that it give me fits at first, in the little bit of instruction I've
received in helicopters. Adding throttle is opposite of what it is on a
motorcycle. It's also the wrong hand which I think, actually helped me a
bit. Since I'm not used to operating the throttle with my left hand, the
fact that the throttle's movement was also backwards didn't seem to be as
big a deal as it might have been if I'd had the collective in my right hand.

FWIW! :-)

Many that drive motorcycles had a hard time getting used to the 300's
throttle direction.
