Thanks Arctic, I have learned something today... and its only 11:00! I guess these things are never as intuitive as they seem - you inspired me to look up P-factor, Propellor torque effect, gyroscopic precession and spiral prop wash..... now I feel like going back to bed again to assimilate my newly found knowlege. Its quite amazing how many forces have to be balanced just to have an aircraft fly straight and level when driven by a propeller. I think I prefered my old understanding of what was occuring... it was much simpler!
