Default RE: VQ P-61 flown again

Terror Dactyl also did a flat rudder turn using reverse rudders and the unique flaps and spoiler combination.
No, my heart is still fluttering. Working on a full flight report and DID NOT PLAN TO TEST AN ENGINE OUT. I was really surprised though and could not believe how easy it was to not only fly, but actually hold altitude on a single engine.
More later...my heart is not up to this....Anyone got a LA 40 powered trainer for sale. I don't need this.
Here it is on final approach with only one engine running. Too late to give back to Mike of VQ at that point and I don't think he wanted it either!!. Mr Terror could only say how glad he was that he did not have to shoulder the responsibility of not only flying someone elses plane, but losing an engine on the only prototype in the world.
