WEDJ, standard a/c terminology, face the direction of flight, look from the back to the front. We say 'ALF' Aft, Looking Forward. Prop turns clockwise from rear, a/c resists torque by balancing with a bit of left roll. If you want to roll left you need to 'add a bit more' to overcome this torque. Rolling right you have this prop rotation helping the roll. Think of it like this, if the prop was held still, the right roll rate would be incredible!
