I just drop it and hit the power
Rub it in...

Now the reason I mentioned my plane is; if this spiral effect was so pronounced, with the leading edge being between 1/8 an 3/4 of an inch behind the prop, this plane should want to heel to the right and it doesn't. Now on the flip side of all this (which lead me to think motor torque is more of an issue) is that she will roll left a lot faster than she will roll right.
