Greetings,
I’m hoping for a first engine run
this weekend, and had a question for all of you that ran before assembling
your planes. Van does not recommend running Lycoming engines with the
wings of the plane removed, because the power pulses will damage the
tail. That shouldn’t be a problem for me, but how about
torque? Do I need to be worried at all about the plane torquing to
one side? It doesn’t seem likely, but I thought I’d ask if anyone saw
much of a torque effect. This is with the prop, btw.
Thanks,
Rusty
