Yes, It's true. I am currently running with zero degrees of right thrust, and as far as I can tell there is no spiraling slipstream of air over the fuselage.
Thanks for the reply.What excites me is that you now have aircraft design opportunities that just haven't been possible because of the mono prop slipstream.Rudder/fin shape position being and obvious one, as you stated, you rudder response improved measurably, presumably because of the twin slip streams cancelling each other out and creating a far smoother flow of air towards the rear of the aircraft.I wonder who's going to be leading the charge?Exciting days.
