Hi JW, Cabri & EC120 main rotors turn clockwise so right torque pedal..

You are right re: anti-clockwise, though on types I have flown (H500, CBi300, E480), I have not experienced such a pronounced effect on right turns in wind. Positive left pedal action in the 120 (even in light wind) can catch you out.

From the EC & Helicoptersafety websites:
