Ed,
The Savoia was my airplane. The reason I lost it was that altitude. I lost and egine (I think) low over the trees on a slight up hill grade. If there had been no obstruction I could have gotten it to the field. Having to climb underpowered got me.
I have flown the Savoia on 2 engines when I cut the right engine trying to do a touch and go to help a gear legt to get unstuck. When I did the T&G i dropped low enough to cut off the right engine.
I then proceeded to climb out and go around for another landing. It was taxing but I made it.
