I fly a Piper Cub with a 65 hp engine, and I have been taken off the

is like when the engine is turning, and not just the prop? Can you
imagine what it would be like when the horsepower gets up around 900?


Wasn't torque that took you off the center-line, it was p-factor and
slipstream.

as simply messing around with airplanes.
