Default RE: Which way do they fly Down Under?

Now, this leads me to some interesting reflection. I am from "Down under" but live now in the northern hemi.
Actually, where I live now, I am at nearly 90degrees to my native vertical: I am not sure, but this may account for preferring to turn in the vertical when flying RC. I do not fly CL, and going on this, perhaps I had better not try, in case the reptilian part of my brain takes over in some moment of lapse, and I send my plane on a course for some less amicable flying medium, aiming for a preconception of horizontal.

On another note, have you ever had a bit too much to drink and felt like you where spinning around when you lie down with your eyes closed?
Which way was this? (I am pretty sure it was clockwise)
Is THIS because of the bernelli (er.. what was it again?) effect?

This Hobby is excellent for expanding our minds.
