Thank you David for Replying to this thread.
To assist you.
I also placed it in two other Sub forums. due to similar relevance.

I have been telling a lot of Pilots about your Endeavors and success to date. and the most common issue and question is. Un controllable torque at high power.

Personally. I have not found the perfect answer. but I was thinking along the lines of No Problem due to ;
1/ Inline turbine produces negligible torque back to the Fuse (IE just bearing frictions, and slipstream opposite)
2/ you have the full length Ailerons x4 that are within the Prop thrust thus providing control (Thrust vectoring)

No 2 I am sure of. But No1. I am still confused.
would you say
NO. she would roll you over if you took off with what ever power would allow you to scream down the runway with the Plane attached.
Yay,No problem with power/pitch application and the torque roll without enough airspeed over the wings/Ailerons.

See my confusion : ) (only due to my own lack of experience and Education )

Thanks Again
Bryce.
