Default The Upline

Hello Everyone,

I have some general questions about uplines. I am struggling to get straight ones and need some help.

The engine produces torque. This torque (from what I have heard) cause the plane to yaw. I have also heard that this torque is non-existent. And I have heard that this torque varies, pulling the plane to one side depending on orientation.

Basically, I have no idea what to think as far as uplines and correction are concerned. If anyone could give me some insight into what exactly happens on a upline and some correction tips for straight, crisp uplines. Thanks.

Oh and also. I was just thinking. If the engine is generating all this torque, wouldn't it cause the plane to yaw in ALL attitudes, not just on vertical uplines????

Thanks for the help,
-Matt
