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

I agree he turned into the dead engine......never ever turn into the dead engine.......there was a crash in 1976 at MCAS Cherry Point NC......tunring into a dead engine where the prop was hung on the 36 deg pitch locks.......
Also with twins one engine will be master one will be slave.......you want the weak engine to be the master......that way you're always tunning the strong engine to the weaker one...not the other way around....the reason I brought that up is he seemed to have yaw problems the whole flight including taxi out......
Good looking airplane ,,,,sorry this happened
