In the Flight model update page, Hitech, you wrote:

Pfactor biggest effect is at high AOA and hi speed.

It's actually "Low" Airspeed. Not High.

You may have known this, and perhaps made a Typo..

okay.. just so you know.

P-factor is a function of velocity and aoa. It is zero at zero velocity and zero at zero aoa. It increases with velocity and increases with aoa. The effect is probably largest at low speed (relative other effects), probably

So, how many effects are produced by a propellor?

If you said 6 then you are correct: thrust, drag, spiral propwash, p-factor, torque, gyroscopic effects.

The spinning and the flying?
