Title: Torque question
Post by: Torcher on November 13, 2014, 09:57:32 AM: Do all the WW2 single-engine aircraft in AH2 have clockwise (as viewed from cockpit) propeller rotation producing a left roll? I thought there were a few that were opposite. Thanks in advance.

I believe it's the left side, but the OP asked about single engine aircraft. P-38s may land with one but they take off with two.

Yes. The right props turns clockwise. The left prop turns counter-clockwise. I am often seen flying home on my spare engine.
