Default Propeller walk



You'll still have prop walk in a twin screw if the props are turning in the
same direction. If you have separate controls on the engines, then it isn't
an issue, since as you said, you can compensate.


uhhh.. Have you ever seen in your life, a twin screw that did not have
"Separate" controls?
I curious.... what was the application?

If you have props turning
in opposite directions without dual controls, you can also eliminate prop
walk.

That would be counter acting, not eliminating. To eliminate it you
need a Voith set-up.

The Capt. Ron video is cool of course.
