Default Twin engine downthrust

Sure! The prudent thing would be to throtle back the good engine and glide her in! But I love the forbidden fruit of buzzing around on the deck!! It just so much sweeter!! I figure that the plane is honking along with plenty of kinetic. Energy is energy! Well, that is what I tell myself. That kinetic energy bleeds off in a hurry!
Good find on the NASA site. I figure thats the answer we paid for! Funny that they waited so long to research this!
