Do they sell controllers for left handed people? Or should I learn the right handed way?

find a radio that allows you to switch the controls. They do make them

there are a few of the Futuba High end remotes which let you switch it over to left or right handed, i know the JR R1 radio lets you as well i think... check them out.

yeah you can convert m8s to left handed, might actually be able to do it with more airtronics radios.

easier said then done, but youd be better off learning right hand. i am way more comfortable steering left, but i just learned the other way. Almost all good tx's are righty. Some rtr ones are switchable. Or you could hold the tx vertical and steer that way on a righty one.

Default Left v. Right

I am actually left handed also...with the Futaba Savage Radio I have gotten used to throttle and steering with one hand....I use my index finger for throttle and my thumb for steering....gets easy after a few crashes..LOL!
