Can you imagine what the torque 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. Torque, p-factor, slipstream and gyroscopic precession are *all* contributors to the left turning tendancies of a prop-driven aircraft. |
