The same thing happens in airplanes while climbing. The relative wind
of the downward turning blade has a bigger 'Bite' and pulls the airplane
to the left. On take-off you have to use a little right rudder to
counter this
tendancy. Its called P factor. (prop factor)

I took it out this weekend for the first time, and under full throttle it tracked consistently to the right, and required about five degrees of correction by applying constant pressure on the tiller to compensate. |
