andrasz.
Although having flown jets for a long time, in a previous life I flew many powerful piston and torbo prop aircraft for many thousands of hours. I think the torque efect you claim would require a prop with a diamiter larger than the aircrafts wing span, and one very powerful engine to achieve what you claim.
I would also suspect, if the torque from the props had as much efect as you claim, it would be even worse with both engines running and all turboprops would spend their time on their backs!
