You are correct KH, right handed prop rotation is so prevalent that it could be considered standard. The darn engineers created the LH, RH engine confusion by using a naming convention that addresses the flywheel end of the crank. Hence, a "standard rotation" engine becomes Left Handed and a "reverse rotation" becomes right handed which seems a bit strange.
