Akihiro san,
No, The best way to think about this is a glider. Rather than motor stick I should have said fuselage. Imagine looking at a glider in plan view & the wing is not perpendicular to the fuselage. The wing is angled such that the right wing panel is ahead of the left wing panel. This will cause the glider to circle to the left, but I do not understand why.

>Normally a wing is mounted perpendicular to the motor stick in plan view. However, if the wing is mounted at an angle other than 90 degrees to the motor stick, for instance with the leading edge of the right side of the wing ahead of the leading edge of the left side of the wing, the plane will turn to the left. What is the aerodynamic reason for this?
Gary san, Do you mean left thrust?
