The chirping we heard was due to excess torque-related motion of the powerplant in the engine compartment. Ray later found that the nuts securing the remaining three mounts were insufficiently torqued by whomever mounted that engine before the Williamson Flying Club bought the airplane in 2021. It was undamaged, it just came apart.

Since my next adventure is total knee replacement on my anti-torque side, I need endurance and strength on that leg, in addition to pushing on the brakes. Obvious recovery goals include being able to get in and out of the airplane, operate all the controls with sufficient force, and maybe push the plane around on the ground.

I was prepared for the torque because people told me about it, but I was pushing as hard as I could to keep it straight. With 3,000 horsepower, you can’t just give it full throttle because it’ll run you off the runway. So, I ran it up to 30 inches that first time and released the brakes. It was that fast.”

The airplane began to torque to the left, and I was just about to pull the power to idle before the left wing hit the nearby tree when the left float let go, and we jumped forward into deeper water. This time, I pushed the throttle all the way to the stop. The prop threw spray rearward as the airplane vibrated from the blast.

These are called left turning tendencies and include P-factor, spiraling slipstream, torque, and gyroscopic precession. To counteract this, the pilot presses on the right rudder pedal to control the yaw of the nose back to the right until the longitudinal direction is straight again.

The clamp can fail prematurely if someone over-torqued the t-bolt. The bands are secured with a t-bolt and trunnion mechanism that is either riveted or spot-welded in place, and over time, the spot-weld can generate cracks leading to the failure of the clamp.

Watch out for torque effect (especially if you are in high-powered aircraft) since the increase in power can cause the nose to yaw to the left. Depending on your stalling configuration, you may already be at full throttle. If so, you don’t need to worry about this step. This requires rudder input to maintain directional control.

Theres a big, 300 horsepower Continental engine up front and it creates plenty of torque that needs to be offset in climb (which can take 25 minutes if youre going high). No rudder trim. Like the lack of nose wheel steering, the lack of rudder trim has always bothered me.

Furthermore when reproducing the missing wing, it was not taken into account that originally the Macchi wings had different lengths to counteract the torque effect generated by the rotation of the propeller and therefore the current wingspan of the Folgore is about twenty centimeters shorter than to what it should have been. 205 standard.

In order to minimize the effects of torque on the aircraft, the Shiun was equipped with the MK4D variant of the Kasei engine, which was modified to accept contra-rotating two-bladed propellers. Internally called the K-10, its contract for the IJN was initially dubbed the Navy Type 2 High-speed Reconnaissance Seaplane.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque.
