Hello Net
This is a question for KR drivers with big engines like the O-200, the
Corvair's and turbo VW's. Can any one discuss the difference in the amount of
P factor as a comparison to their experience with a lower powered engine? Was
there enough rudder to compensate, or did you have to keep the power low
waiting on rudder authority? If you can answer these questions based on your
KR experiences, please make an input.

Orma,
With my O-200, I don't have quite enough right rudder on my initial takeoff
roll, but can easily deal with the torque by holding the tail down and using
the tailwheel steering until I see 40mph indicated. By then, there's plenty of
rudder unless there's a significant crosswind from the left. Then I might have
to bump the right brake a couple of times to keep things straightened out.
