Default RE: Is right thrust always applicable?

Right thrust is used only for correcting the spiral slipstream effect, caused by having an asymmetrical vertical tail. When you roll inverted, the tail also goes inverted, so you still need right thrust (now left thrust). If you're sport flying it doesn't really matter. For precision aerobatics, you want a hands-off vertical line achieved with right thrust.
