Well, good news for you is that with flying you learn to fly left and right seat (later) so have to get used to flying with either hand. And with some planes controls are in opposite hands (eg tandem seaters). But it really doesn't matter, as you fly with your brain and it learns how to command your hands accordingly.

Flying lessons really are great fun. There is so much going on sometimes, that you will no doubt have a few headaches afterwards (from concentration and tension). Always a good idea to be well hydrated beforehand. But the euphoria after you land makes up for that, although there will be times of frustration as well.

I have a friend here that often flies with me, that also just started his lessons. He completed his ground school a couple months ago and now is doing the flying part. He does have a head start, though, as on longer flights I would often give him the controls. Only thing I wouldn't let him do is land or take off. So it will be fun to watch him progress as well.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
