If you read aviation history a special problem surfaced as soon as the
synchronized gun led to combat aerobatics... with a 300 lb engine
turning clock wise at 1200 rpms in the nose of a 1200 lb aircraft the
rotary's gyroscopic effect in turns was formidable but the pursuit
pilot quickly learned to execute instant left turns helped by the
gyroscopic procession whereas right turns were a wrestle with the
controls... all in all the early pioneers learned real quick that the
rudder is your savior to arrest the spin...
The Rotary was a great design because the spinning engine keep its cool faced with
the slow moving early birds...
You can clearly see the torque effect opposite to the clockwise
spinning engine... note a Rotary will idle...
