Yeah, that could be interesting. All it would take would be a few dry runs in the sim or even in the a/c on the ground and I'd have my technique down in a few tries.
If there's one thing I've learned is that "can't" isn't in my vocabulary. I never thought I'd fly again, did it. Never thought I'd fly a multi again, did it. Never thought I'd CFI again, did it.
It sounds like I may be worrying just a bit too much.
I'll be going in to work early tomorrow and jump in one of the Challengers in our hangar and see how it feels. See how it goes with my right hand. See how smoothly it would be to throw my right hand on top of the yoke to maintain direction while throwing my left hand under to the throttles.
