I suspect that most single-prop planes will turn better one way than the other, but can't see any particular reason why it should be more 'drastic' in a Bf-109 than in any other type. If the general torque, gyroscopic and p-effects are modelled correctly, there should be no reason to treat the 109 as a special case without strong evidence.

I try never to turn right but it all has to do wit torque. Don't all single engine aircraft have propellers? Why is it such a big deal with a 109. I would think a small plane like a Yak 3 would also be effected.
