RE: Lost an Engine (and Lived to Tell About It)
I fly a Uravitch OV-10 with twin OS 25 FXs. It's a fast airplane, and always comes in for a landing in a "carrier landing mode" unless I use flaps to slow it down some. Both engines are a bit far out on the wing, somewhat similar to the P-38, so asymmetric thrust can be a problem with one engine out. I have experienced engine out, and with proper use of rudder, staying off the ailerons, I have no trouble flying a landing pattern to a normal landing. As you have read, keep up the airspeed, correct with rudder, and fly it down. By the way, I have mine set up for 0-0-0 and no out thrust. Flies great with that setup. This is a practice ship for me, as I am building a Ziroli B-25 and my experience with the OV-10 has been very valuable. Probably have 50 or so flights on it so far.
I think that all of you who are building twins will enjoy them. There's nothing like those two engines in synch in the air.
Keep us up to date on your B-25 results.
