From: various places .....
.. think I'll take the alternative ..

Consider ..

(a) LH motor quits

(b) aircraft yaws to the LEFT

(c) add left crosswind and the left yaw is magnified ..

(d) add right crosswind and the left yaw is reduced ...

(assuming normal stability characteristics ...)

Suggest that you throw the book which you are reading in the corner and cover it up with other rubbish ..


... then, again ... if you can avoid rolling yourself into a ball ... once you have done a full 180 and somehow are now going in the opposite direction ... maybe ..
