gene, your comprehension of English is sadly lacking. you agreed with this
statement AND disagreed. You agreed by stating the spiral prop wash caused

the
aircraft to turn (thus smaller rudder is better)


I never said rudder. I said, "....larger vertical surface areas on
the empennage...." The rudder is a mixed blessing, but is the only
control surface capable of offsetting the left turning tendency.....
sorry you are confused.

and disagreed by stating that
a larger rudder will stop the spiral prop wash.

English does confuse you, doesn't it gene.

(1) Please cite the post where I said that a smaller rudder would stop
"p-thrust."




Apparently, your confusion arises from the fact that you don't
understand the subtle differences between the terms "stop" and
"counteract." Here's a hint..... you aren't going to "stop" it as
long as you use one propeller per shaft.
