There's a basic question for you all. I noticed that while taking off,
with calm winds, the airplane always tend to go on left side off the
runway.
One of the causes of left turning tendencies in single engine planes
is torque. The slower the speed and the greater the power the more
pronounced the effect. At take off you have very high power and very
low speed so you get a lot of left turn. This is also a problem in
power on stalls.
