Default RE: Torque question


ORIGINAL: mk1spitfire
Unless I dynamically slope soar it without power, how will I know wether its aero or engine?
cut motor at speed and see if she levels?
Is right thrust primary objective to over come torque?
Yes, that is a great idea - get it up to speed, then chop power. No change in roll rate - all aero. Lots of change then look at thrustline.

When in doubt set it 0-0, esp on fast aircraft where they spend so much time WOT. Hovering aerobatic things with big props and low rpm feel the need most.

On my Demon when it had left thrust, once it was up to speed there were no detectable symptoms. At launch before the wings got on step it was a worry. It got around 180 degrees on me once, I mean in a left turn back towards me not rolling. But running the pylon props launch authority was nowhere near as good as say a sport 9-7 which chugs out of your hand.
