Force applied foward of the CG (to the left if the R door is opened) has a greater effect than drag created by same control (the door)

If however the door was of adequate strength, and you were of adequate ability and stupidity, and pushed the door fully open (perp to rel air flow) the yawing effect perp to RAF would be less than the drag effect parallel to RAF, and the a/c would yaw toward the open door...

immediately followed by your blessed 150 stalling the right wing, rolling to about 130 degrees
Now is a good time to close said door!
