Default Angle of prop shaft - theoretical question.

Snip personal attack

Let me inform you a tad. when the aircraft is rolling with the tail down,

the
angle of attack one side of the prop circle is greater than on the other

side,
because of the forward movement of the craft. The side of the prop with

great
a of a developes more thrust and pulls the aircraft forward faster than

the
other side of the prop. than means the aircraft pulls to one side. This

is
often (erroneously) referred to a P-Torque, because it feels like the

engine is
torqueing the aircraft to the side. In fact, it is P-Thrust, or

asymetrical
thrust that is causing the aircraft to veer.

be carefull, gene. Remember what the FAA taught you, "Safety is no

accident".

Snip more personal attack
