Larry, I am going to be intentionally vague. The spiral slipstream of the prop is adjusted for statically by angling the engine and later dynamically by rudder control. Design adjustments can be made to reduce this effect when designing the vertical stabilizer. There are similar adjustments that can be made during the design and test stage of the elevator thru GVT ground vibration testing. Thats why we follow the plans on this one. Joe
