However you are most likely referring to the line ' what we have here is a failure to communicate '.
If so you were correct - as said already 'my bad'

' I'm shaken it Boss, I'm shaken it '

It also put me off hard boiled eggs for a long tome

Yes, it was the line ' what we have here is a failure to communicate '.

Scott, If there is such a thing as P-factor and it causes the plane to veer to the left (the airplanes left) when you pull to vertical, and it veers to the left (the airplanes right) when you push from inverted to vertical what do you do to trim it so it goes straight in both cases, and if you can't achieve that, what rudder input will you use to correct it?

I'm sure some planes are worse than others and maybe it can't be detected on some. Gyroscopic precession and perhaps the thrust line settings could magically cancel out the P-effect but it would seem to me to be a case of luck.
