ORIGINAL: P-40 DRIVER

One of the things that causes problem in the TF P-40 is that there is so much rollcoupling that if you trim the rudder for high power, it will be out of trim and roll when you pull the power off ie landing.
This was also a characteristic of the full size P-40. Pilots said that they had to stand on the right rudder pedal in a dive!
