Can any one discuss the difference in the amount of P factor as a comparison to their experience with a lower powered engine? Was there enough rudder to compensate, or did you have to keep the power low waiting on rudder authority? <<
When I was flying with Troy a few weeks ago, I asked about his "cut down" rudder, if it was still enough with the big 0-200 he's now running on his stock-length KR2. He said it was still enough, but he's also added a few inches to the vertical stabilizer (see fourth photo down on http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/troy/ ). But he doesn't just jam the throttle in on takeoff either...he slowly pushes it in so it has authority before he gets to full throttle.
