Well actually, p-factor is a propeller effect, but we know what you mean 

All that rotating mass did create a huge gyroscopic effect which reportedly the pilots used to their advantage during dog fights. Left turns were a snap so to speak.

The rotary was very simple. All that spinning mixed the air and fuel so they didn't need carburetors. But that also meant that they didn't have throttles so they ran wide open and used a blip switch on the stick to cut out the ignition momentarily so they could land. They also used castor oil as a lubricant and the excess unburned oil exited the open exhaust ports and the pilots ingested it lubricating their digestive systems as well. According to one source, a bottle of blackberry brandy was often kept on board as an antidote. TBO was something like  hours. 

UGH!  Yeah, that was embarrassing...gyroscopic is what I was thinking.

Never realized they didn't have carbs and, thus, ran full-throttle. Thanks!

Fine fine I meant to say radial but my non English native brain said rotary

Quit lining and go buy one.

Pickup only.  Bring a big trailer and fork lift.
