At what speed/weight/flap/ power setting?
800 feet seems like a large radius turn for a Beaver flown by an experienced pilot.
And if it were me I would rather have to 'hook it hard to the left' than 'to the right', particularly with a lot of power with an American engine rotation.
A dynamic stall to the right at low level can be very interesting indeed
Just sayin
