The prop  does create a bias as you describe. Note the sides of the 

fuselage just  ahead of the prop, the gnats are plastered on the right 

fuselage side, and  the underside of the left flap, but not on the left 

side of the fuselage, or  the underside of the right flap.

 Richard,

     I think I'll go with jerb's  explanation------

  

     I've been lurking on this list  long enough so's I should know what engine setup you have, but seeing how my  memory is no longer functional, please let me know what engine/redrive/prop you  use.  Your info is real interesting, and I want to think on it some  more.

  

 Thanks,

 Frank Clyma

Have a 582 and B box, 68" Ivo two blade, so standing at the tail and 

looking forward, the prop turns clockwise. Thus you have a swirl of air 

that also turns clockwise, ahead of the prop as well as behind it. Which 

plasters gnats appropriate to that swirl ahead of the prop (about 18" 

max) as well as behind it, which means it would also be pushing the 

right flap down, and the left flap up. At least to the extent that slop 

in the mechanism allows, which shouldn't be all that much.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
