Very well explained wiggy , I would add it is same with old single propeller aircraft with very high power engines( say above 1000 HP) you have to apply power very slowly to get above a certain speed where you have enough aerodynamic rudder control to be able to apply take off power to counter the torque. Basic aerodynamics.
