An interesting thread, and many good explanations. Let me add a couple. Have you ever seen a Kentucky Derby or Indy 500 race run in a CW direction? Or any race for that matter. In my AF days, if I told a student to give me an aileron roll, guess which way he rolled every time? By nature, we all turn left easier than to the right.
We often encounter some difficulty when teaching a newby regarding making right hand patterns. A friend once mentioned that he always made better landings when going from right to left. There's always a pony in there somewhere. You just have to look for it.
Now then, who will be the first Californian out there to argue that he turns right easier than left.
