As I understand it, 3 bladed props are good for braking, nothing else.

P-factor is probably the biggest factor making your plane pull to the left when pulling up.

Gyroscopic effect (probably extremely negligible with our light props) during a pull up acts with a yaw to the right, so is not involved.
