Default RE: Lost an Engine (and Lived to Tell About It)

One: As Bill States : He could not be any more wrong

And do as John suggested.. Run one tank short on fuel and fly
on one motor.. Then do same with other motor...
And to add to John's... After you get comfy doing what he says,,
do it again,, but this time come into power faster to see how plane reacts..
Make sure you are ten mistakes high of course..

Part of the demo I do on the Hobbico Twinstar is to fly
on one motor and then to do a fast throttle increase
while on one motor.. If Irelied only on aileron, the
plane would have only done it once.. And then it
would be as Bill says.. sticks..

Your B-25 will NOT be as forgiving... So use your
Twinstar to LEARN motor out rudder control..

he swears that using rudder with an engine out on a twin model is suicide. Right or wrong?
