mesae you're talking dynamic state in a high G pull up and Lou is talking about steady state climb, and you both are stating the correct answer for each situation.

Fascinating isn't it!
I made reference to both static and dynamic states. The pullup was only one example, but my arguments are distributed through several posts. For simplicity, my arguments generally did not consider down thrust, except by implication when I made reference to the angle between the propeller shaft and the flightpath. That definition incorporates all thrust offsets by implication. P Factor is a slight right yawing force in level cruise flight because of down thrust.

Yes, it IS fascinating!
