Roll / prop pitch
Hi all,
I've only tried this with the Bf 109's but setting the proppitch so that the engine runs at about 2000 rpm pretty much cancels out the roll. With good elevator trim I was able to fly the Bf 109 hands off for extended periods.
When in a dogfight the torgue induced roll isn't a big deal, since you're pitching and rolling all over the place, but during cruise torque induced roll can be a big strain on your wrist. Reducing the te prop pitch en thereby the RPM but not your speed is big help.
I hope this is helpfull for you guys. I haven't tried it with the Spit or Hurricane yet. Though the RPM will probably be different, the principle should be the same I guess.
