having a "blonde moment" when it comes to gyro procession and props

That's correct. I typically start to bring the tail up at about 2/3 flying speed in
my plane. If the back seat is empty, I can raise the tail rapidly enough to require
full right rudder to counteract the effect. If I have a back-seat passenger, the tail
will rise so slowly that the precession effect is almost negligible. I have never
noticed precession effects in the air.
