Planes seem to keep trying to spin to the right, why? Could we just not? I have had this problem since I first played the game. Why is it this way? I know it’s not stick drift because I have other people who talk about this, and I don’t have this stick drift on other games.

This is nit a suggestion
Noticed the same, flying with joystick though on PC. (Dunno how it goes for mouse aim: never used it disadvantageously so; would guess it is not a problem, due to virtual instructor leveling the plane automatically.)
The little I know about plane physics, the propeller makes the plane rotate unless you trim, ailerons, rudder, elevator to counter (which there are plane key binds for in Enlisted PC at least.)

Il-2 games call this Torque & Gyro Effect, it’s basically the engine and propeller exerting force on the rest of the fuselage, pulling and rotating it, and as @Naia88 said, it can be countered with proper trim, though it requires extra skill to do correctly.

If that’s how planes work then I guess that’s a neat little detail. Thank you.
You piloted a Focke Wulf, eh?

It is, I’m suggesting a feature be removed, and now am fine with it.
