Big enormous difference than Vs in a single. It also does not correlate at all with p-factor taking a powerful single off the taxiway due to poor technique.
Totally disagree with you here... fly a Mustang and appreciate the low airspeed, high power setting directional control issues.
The bottom line is that at low airspeed (above the power on stall speed) there are directional control issues with the rudder.... just like Vmc in a twin... whether it's from torque, p-factor, whatever.
