If you engage the WEP I would expect a roll force on the aircraft large enough to make me compensate during the turn. In BoP I find that this effect is present on some planes and in some it's not.

This is probably because the aileron trim is automatic, so it assumes you trim it to compensate at any engine speed. The torque is always there on takeoffs of course.

I don't have a pilot's license, but I'm gonna get one, unless I crash. soon as I got the money.

Colton Harris-Moore mastered flying on his own with sims and now he lives in the woods and steals airplanes. Nobody can catch him, every few months a plane disappears and they find it far away. He did crash a couple of them.

this isnt or well used to not be very hard to do. i dont know post 9/11 but before that if a student was going to do a few hours of night flying, the flight school would leave the keys in the plane under the seat. the student would go and do whatever time he needed then put the keys back under the seat. the runway lights were activated by clicking the mic button a couple times and they would time out after so many minutes.
