Default RE: Is torque a problem at takeoff?

For what it's worth guys, full size airplanes has the same torque. It is caused by the wind from the prop swirling around the plane and pushing the vertical stabilizer to the side. As the airplane gains speed the relative wind is more from the front of the plane so less side pressure. Do not trim to get rid of this, just give it a little rudder until underway.
