Actually,
The Futaba 8U airplane version doesn't HAVE an appropriate switch on the
left side of the transmitter, which is where most people want the
Launch/Normal/Reflex switch to be....away from the 'busy' right hand. For
sailplanes most people recommend getting the Heli version because the switch
IS on the left side. As for you being lefty, unless you're going to reverse
everything so that Ail/El is on the left and Rud/Flap is on the right, your
right hand is STILL going to be the 'busy' one, so 'normal' preference is
for the switch to be on the left.

question is which one is springloaded. You don't need to use a springloaded
switch for the preset, but i think a lot of people prefer that. I believe
the 8UAFS only has a springloaded switch on the left side (the one normally
used for the trainer switch). I don't have my radio here with me, so I'm
not sure.
