I wonder if two YS 63's would fly the B-25 ?
Big question is: will ONE of the YS 63's fly the KMP B-25!!!
WHEN one of your two engines quits (gonna happen), AND if you're already above "minimum critical airspeed" (MCA), then you'd want your single remaining engine to continue to overcome drag and keep the aircraft above MCA until you can make an approach. I would guess a single YS 63 could not do that. Perhaps they'd work fine with a TF B-25, but this plane is significantly larger (cross-section = drag), and heavier, than the TF.
Of course, if your remaining engine can't sustain an airspeed above MCA, or if you're under MCA when you loose any engine, then you'd treat it as a deadstick and "establish a glide slope" because you're going to "land", whether there's a runway involved, or not!
