I don't understand that. The fact that my nose will (assuming I don't apply proper rudder input) swing left when I raise the tail
is the reaction. The torque causing the propeller to turn and generate thrust is not involved. The left turning tendency would be just the same if a flywheel spinning freely on a stationary shaft replaced the propeller.
Are you referring to some torque other than the torque causing the propeller to rotate and generate thrust? There are certainly other torques involved.
