RE: P 38 Help 1st Twin
Hi Airshow
I hope you pay attention to what 91zulu just wrote. I practiced using the rudder in flight by making ALL of the turns with the rudder, long before I flew my first twin. I believe that every twin I have seen at our fields has ended up being totaled before the pilot got the hang of it. Except mine! It was a P38 with two Magnum 28 engines. On my second twin, after I totaled the first after many flights, I noticed that I was always waiting for one of the engines to stop. I was actually a nervous wreck. I was not enjoying myself. So I designed and built a Pusher/Puller plane. I flew it until the engines wore out. Most fun plane I have ever had. Many times I would not know that one of the engines had stopped. On a perfect day it could even take off on one engine. Making the first turn, at an altitude of about 8 inches, was always exciting.
