To the left is harder, and a different technique than that to the right. The trick is to take off the power slowly while feeding in the left rudder. The RAF EFTS students had to acheive an acceptable level in all the 5 basic aerobatic manouvres in the book (loop, barrel roll. slow roll, stall turn and roll off the top) and the stall turn had to be demonstrated both ways. They got taught the stall turn to the right first and to the left when they had mastered the right. They could invariably achieve all the aeros at the end of the 54 hour course.
