And that about sums it up. Sorry to be so negative but so many people but cheap airplanes like these and wonder WHY?
Well, this is one hobby where you do get what you pay for.
The other reason may have been you were flying too slow when you started the turn and/or attempted to turn too sharply.

On an non-inline twin, trying to turn into the dead motor is suicide. The motor still running will pull the plane around into a spiral, which will quickly deteriorate into a death spin. If the design of this plane is to slow one motor to turn it, it's a VERY poor design.

Hi
Several people have turned up at the field with these types of planes. Some flew ok, some were faulty and some didn't fly at all. most had already been crashed. The succsesful ones all needed balancing trimming and genrally adjusting before getting them to fly.
Find a flying club and get somone experienced to have a look at it for you.
The twin engine ones that use the engines for steering normally you can increase the power to either side depending which way you want to go, not as you describe by shutting one engine down
