Hello Chris.

It depended on flight attitude and severity of assymetric thrust. (engine quit or engine lagged)
Engine cut just after takeoff with speed low and nose high the model would almost flick roll towards the dead engine. Engine sag in the same situation would result in severe yaw towards weak engine followed immediately by a roll to the same direction. Normal flight engine out or sag would result in a roll to the dead or weak engine. If the engine sagged then recovered quickly the model righted itself with just a bit of tail wag. On approach with engines at idle the model just slowly rolled to the dead engine. Easily controlled.

Hope this helps
