I observe this, but I wonder if it isn't the way things should be (in
spite of the counterrotating props). Maybe there's another effect at

where now, but I thought I read something that satisfactorily
explained the Seneca's behavior to me. Perhaps someone who has flown a
counterrotating twin can weigh in.
