Many have most of their experience in aircraft that you control pitch and roll with the right hand and power with the left. (Piper J-3, Bell Huey, 1-26 glider). It seems natural. Some years ago, a retired fighter pilot was checking out in an executive jet. He landed hard while doing a go around. Old habits led him to "apply power" pushing forward with his left hand and pulling back with his right to "pitch up". I worried that I would have the same problem with a Luscombe that I bought. They have dual sticks and center throttle. Happy to report that there was no problem and it immediately felt normal. I say don't fret about it but build it fool proof.
