Assuming the prop rpm is constant, the force applied will be shifted 90 degrees in the direction of prop rotation. That shift in force is felt as a left turning tendency. Get a bicycle wheel, spin it fast, then sit on an office swivel chair with your feet up and holding the wheel in front as a propeller. Move the wheel through different planes of motion. The chair will turn.
