Why is a standard hold right turns?

In a twin the thrust line is slightly to the right when climbing, just like
a single, which makes the plane yaw left, just like in a single. The left
engine in a twin is the "important" engine.

In most twins. However there are some that have no critical engine and
some that have both engines as critical.

I know that some planes have counter-rotating engines for the right side;
however, I never knew that planes existed with both engines critical. Are
you saying the counter rotating goes on the left and a normal engine on the
right? Is so, why???? What benefit would there be in that?

Just curious and learning something new everyday.

What he is implying is that in some twins you have a major problem if you
lose either engine.

Any engine that turns its prop outboard is a critical engine. The P38
is an example of an airplane that has both engines turning outboard.
They did this for better manuverability.
