Default Stability - Lateral balance

Robby:

Thanks for the comment. But... Always a "But," isn't there?

The torque induced rotation, the helical path of the slipstream, and the old fellow that gets blamed for everything including running out of fuel, P-factor, have no efect on the airplane when flying power off.

And that's where lateral balance, or lack thereof, will most assuredly and quickly bite you on the posterior.
