Looks like you handled the engine failure well. Nice save. Hate to see someone lose a twin. There aren't many of them.

I had an engine failure today myself on my Twin Stick. The left engine quit just as I broke ground on the first flight of the morning. The plane sounded different and I didn't have vertical so I figured something happened. Since I was slow when it happened, the plane did pull a little to the left. I kept the good engine at full power and never touched the rudder. I climbed on up to pattern altitude, flew down to the turn point, throttled back and landed. I richened up the engine a couple of clicks, flip started and took off and flew the rest of the flight.

You guys can worry about losing an engine, using rudder and keeping the power back to half. I'll keep my 8 degrees offset. It doesn't look pretty, but it works.

How about sending me a couple of good digital photos of your Super Sportster Twin for my column. Send to [email protected]. Thanks.
