Right turns for most people who fly mode 2 are more difficult, this I know from buddy boxing tons of folks. I think it comes from the fact that people 'push' the stick more precisely then they can 'pull' it. We have a club member who is an Olympic gymnastics coach and he says everyone has a direction that there body naturally rotates and that for most right handed people it is to the left and for left handed people it is to the right. Practice will solve the issue for you.
I can vouch for this as well. I've taught many people to fly who find that turning right is not as natural for them as turning left. I remember going thru the same thing when I rode BMX and motocross, I was much more confindent of my balance turning left than I was turning right. I have forced myself to fly right hand circuits enough that you probably couldn't tell any difference by watching me, but I am still more comfortable doing most manuevers when flying a left hand circuit.
You know I was just talking to a friend who flies and he says we are all over thinking this. He says the round-d-rounders (NASCAR)only go left so its just how things are. I mean their cars will barely turn right. He recommends watching some open wheel racing for tips on turning both directions.
