Default Factors that affect Torque Roll Rate?

your right about the wind yellow jacket, I just think it looks cooler if the plane just dances across the field under the power of the wind.

The whole reason behind torque rolls is there is an unbalanced torque from the engine and prop that is being balanced by the turning aircraft, blipping the throttle does two things, it creates more torque for an instant, it also allows the plane to fall back on its tail for an instant. Meaning the airframe is getting even less help from the propwash to resist the turning moment.
I think that made sense.
