Hi Convair340,
My hat is off to you that you are trying to introduce someone else to the joy and excitement of flying. Us old time fliers forget the first time we went up and took the controls.
I really don't think it's necessary to put her in the left seat to get the same value of excitement. In my opinion what is more important is the you take her up early in the morning on a nice clear, smooth day and let her fly. This proves to her that flying isn't some obscure skill that only the Greek Gods are blessed with. The biggest problem with general aviation today is that we exclude so many. Having the chain link fence and the locked gate these days doesn't help.
Again, congratulations on not losing sight of this special hobby/career and sharing your skill and love of flying with someone else.
