I have had many loss of an engine with my twinstar with the 25fx engine's and never once crashed, but all had altitude, i had one dead stick with my c-160 with two os32sx engine's for power and it was on takeoff about maybe fifty feet into the air, just a guess on alt. but it went into an uncontrolable spin and crashed, when i went to pick up the pieces i could not find it until i looked in the water, i think the wing hit first kind of at an angle as there was a foot of mud under the water i think the wing went into the mud and just lay flat upright in the water, the wing was twisted and took out the front bolt that holds the wing on, it just slid over to the right side a few inches, also there was a small hole in the fuse, not much got wet and it was an easy fix, so my friene fixed it for me, that was last fall and i look forward to flying it again, as far as flying in the air the twinstar does not even come close to the nice way the c-160 handles in the air also i have never had a loss of an engine in the air while on cruise, if so i feel that it would not have been much of a problem, maybe this year i will find out, i try to take a different plane each day to the field, rollie
