Newps schrieb: I consider the effects of P-factor and torque to be design defects. Christ your an idiot. Until you change the laws of physics you're stuck with those 'design defects'. Be extra careful before calling names! Even when you don't like the poster. Of course the effects of the P-factor can be overcome by appropriate design. The most simple solution would be the possibility to trim all three axis. As this seems to be a pretty straight forward and cheap solution, I've never understood why this isn't offered in all airplaes. Sure would make flying a light single more enjoyably. Yes, I even agree that this avoidance could be called a design defect. I think it would be a good idea to distinguish between design defects and design _trade-offs_ in this kind of discussion. Many GA planes have 3-axis trim, but, as in other areas, this option comes at a cost. The question becomes which options a buyer might find more attractive, for example would you prefer 3-axis trim or better avionics and moving map GPS? Neil |
