Default RE: Unfortunate crash video of a new DeHavilland Mosquito Twin

I've scratch built a DH Dragon Rapide and a SR-71. The DH Dragon is like a powered glider and while running with 1 engine lit I just knife edge fly around til the 2nd engine quits, then glide home. The SR-71 is a higher powered model with not very much built in yaw stability or rudder command. This plane can go into un-recoverable spins even with just 1 engine at idle. The sure-fire fail-safe for this is being able to kill both engines and then glide home.
