P-38L has right torque on takeoff
« on: October 16, 2004, 01:52:10 PM »
Both myself and TK77 noticed that in the TA, the P-38 was dragging to the right as if it were a Tempest and once it hit around 130 MPH it started running straight.

What you didn't notice is the wind in the TA has been set all the way down to the ground at 15mph from the West.

In any plane, if you take of N/S, the crosswind causes the sideways movement. If you take off E/W you can't tell the difference.
