Default aerobatic power to weight ratio


"Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe" The Sea Hawk @See My Sig.com wrote

B. Control would be a problem. Hanging from the prop results in torque
rolls. Airplanes don't have tail rotors or cyclic control over the
propeller.


Sean Tucker overcomes the torque with 4 great big ailerons on a biplane,
with the prop wash giving enough deflection to keep him pretty straight.
