sky! ;-)

Engine torque makes too little difference. It's the gyroscopic
precession generated by the propeller in the turn that makes the right
turn more difficult. In a left turn the precession helps keep the nose
up; in the right turn it pulls it down, and more back pressure is
needed. And if you are a bit clumsy with the rudder, the turn won't be
constant and neither will the precession forces, and you'll be all
over the sky.
