Dennis:

I'll share a laugh with you, having C-47 time you should appreciate it.

I had a fellow tell me he had jumped right in a -47 and taxied it easily, maneuvered it handily, the very first time he got in the airplane. I really think he didn't even have any dual time in a single, much less a big twin.

PS: When you get a fair amount of time in a full scale DC-3, or a fair amount of time with a model twin, you CAN turn into a dead engine. It just takes a bit higher skill level than turning the other way. wr.
