[FlyRotary] Re: inline twin
engines?
It can't be all that bad as I know
someone that lost an engine in Mexico and landed and then he loaded
his passenger and baggage into his friends plane and then fueled it up
and flew it back rather than leave it in Mexico as it would have been
nothing but bones by the time he got back.
Ken
s. The OV-10 was a very bad
airplane, but the 337 was
a death trap. The guys I talked to
universally hated it. Lose an engine and
you're going down. No if's and's or but's.
If you're totally committed to push-pull, Defiant merits some
serious
consideration. If all you're looking for is safe SE operations,
a Cozy or
Velocity twin pusher would fill the bill. You'd have more than
enough rudder
authority to fly it safely and even comfortably in any engine out
conditions,
and have an airplane that performs pretty good too (particularly with
a couple
of good rotarys).
Just a theory - except about the 337
being a piece of shit :o) .... Jim S.
