DC-3/C-47.....
GW....There's been good info put up here for you....but don't panic....just be vigilant.....keeping in mind a few things.....High wing-loaded airplanes create the biggest of problems for single engine performance...and most all the "Warbird" era planes are in this category unless they're the smaller ones......as Bill said ..your inverted before an instant.....I know from my own experience with my "Z" B-25...but if you are upside down...keep roll moving in the same direction til back to straight /level...reduce power and land immediately....but as a "General" rule these things happen so fast its more of a reaction than time to think it thru.....Altitude is your best friend with a twin....especially in the initial "learning" stages.......On T/O use shallow climbs and bank angles less than 30*.....On landing use a good descent rate and use power/rudder....keep bank angles below 30*.........DC-3/C-47..........has a history of tip stalling most notably with high wing-loading and slow airspeeds......Vmc was mentioned (velocity of minmum control) very difficult to compute for our planes....this is the speed at which the rudder/aileron will not compensate for single engine thrust ...with a spin to follow if power not reduced...As far as turning into"Dead" engine...not a problem provided that Vy is "honored".....meaning as long as your @/or above best rate of climb speed its not a problem ....Vmc and Vs speeds are below Vy...Have done that in numerous types of planes.....the only problem with our models would be trying to compute Vy....again difficult so in this case if you have the power reduced on the "descent" with an engine failure as long as the speed is good if a turn is necessary into the dead engine then it shouldn't be a problem......Good Luck.....Bill......
