My first twin was a Royal P38 swap meet special, you know the one, a little crooked, overweight, powered by Supertiger .40's. The plane had been around 15-20 years, been through 1/2 dozen owners, a few different engines, and never been flown. After the first flight adjustments (1/8 up aileron on right wing, level on the left) I got about 10-12 flights out of it before the one engine tumble of death. I was just flying laps (left hand pattern) when suddenly in the middle of a left turn the 38 did a snap to the right. I immediatly cut the throttle and did some opposite rudder stuff, it did quit the spin after a few revolutions but now we are out of airspeed and altitude, resulting stall was disasterous, got to admit the wild tumble looked neat.
