You can believe whatever you want. But, P-factor is very real on our model aircraft, and is a contributing factor during take off with a tail dragger until the tail is raised, reducing the angle of attack. I used to think that p-factor, torque, etc was a bunch of bunk with our models until I started flying full scale. Talk about an eye opener. The rudder is a wonderful thing if you learn to use it.
