Stall turns
 

When I do a stall turn my airplane won't easily turn to the left. It hesitates and I have to really kick in throttle. To the right it's great. What's the cause of this condition? Help.

Could be lots of things.......

one wing heavier than the other.
rudder throw more on one side than the other
wind direction
motor speed

Could it be engine thrust?

Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this!!

Then don't do that!!

Do your pivot to the right if that works the best

It can be all of the above. Most importantly you must leave a few clicks of throtle in to give you good prop wash to have the rudder authoriy to do a good stall turn. pull to vert draw line ease off the throtle slowly till the plane almost stops at this point you must have a little power on to get it to pivot nicely on the cg, hit full rudder hold it in a little so you don't pengullum and that's all to it. Make sure to draw a strait downline.
