Oh, I just realized why it has that very tight turning radius, but only when turning right.

It's the gyroscopic procession of the majority of engine's mass spinning, in that crazy rotary (not radial) engine!

Yes! Coincidentally I'm working on a project right now that has the exact same issue. It will turn clockwise with great ease and counterclockwise is super hard.
