Default Why most modellers prefer left counterclockwise turns with their planes?

Hi friends

Wish you a Happy New Year !

An ever lasting question with no obvious answer: Why all modellers prefer to make counterclockwise turns with their planes?

I don't mean that they can not make also clockwise turns, but it seems that the most prefer the contrary, even when the wind blows from left to right. I also prefer c.c.w. turns not beeing able to exlain this.

I wonder, is the ccw- turn easier for some reason?

Some people give the explanation that this has to done with the rotation-direction of the propeller. Other, that it is has to done weather one is right- or left-handed.

But the question remains.


Best Regards

George
