Default RE: Twin with out thrust

I had a very lucky twin that I sold after 11 years. Forgive my bragging.


I put only about 1 1/2 out in the right engine and none in the left.


It was very tame flying on just the left engine. The right one is the one that usually got me in trouble.


I thought I had started something when another member at the feild built two twins. Both had considerable out thrust, probably in the range of what yours have. And both lasted only a few monthes.


Although I believe your experiment is a good one, I wouldn't call it a complete success until you attempt flying on the right engine.
( and I would never tell anyone to kill the left engine on purpose )

Good Luck and keep us posted as I have two Rockwell Commanders waiting for me to go mad again .
