wait a minute. wasn't it you that claimed the alleged p-thrust was actually
spiral prop wash on the rudder?

Yup, that was you. So how come you are now telling us that making the rudder
*bigger* would stop this alleged p-thrust?

dumb.

including P-51's?


Especially the P-51.......

.....it is a lesson in what happens with a design employing too small
control surface(s) for slow speeds. The P-51 was a purpose built
aircraft made to fly high and fast.... ground handling and slow speed
flight was sacrificed to this end. It was impossible to manually hold
this aircraft on the runway if you forgot to trim the rudder. Ground
handling, take-off, and landing in this aircraft was so poor that some
British divisions suffered losses of as much as 60% just trying to
learn how to fly the thing.

Uh..... ever flown one? Wanna go there?
