Dude knows his planes for sure. I can testify. He was our pilot for a while before moving on to bigger things. We appreciate his time with us.

Because both props rotate clockwise.
P-38's had props rotating in opposite directions. Torque wasn't an issue until you lost an engine. This seems safer, right?

counter rotation is better because it it equalizes the moment arm, but it doesn’t matter if you’re below Vmc, looks like the startle factor made the guy forget how to fly, kid in the right seat was the son of a friend of mine

So very sorry to hear that.

777 and GeauxxxxxxxTigers, I just watched that video and I'm confused. If there's a speed below which you can't control a twin engine plane that loses an engine, how the hell do you land the thing if you have a failure?
I'm missing something here.

Get energy on the wings before you go flying.

Does that mean that you're gliding in and the engines are throttled back enough so that the good engine yawing the nose over can be controlled?
Basically, does the Vmca have to do with the velocity required to maintain control against full throttle asymmetric thrust, but once you have some energy built up, and the engines aren't at full throttle, it takes less velocity to maintain control?

No, just the opposite, he did not have enough energy on the wings but tried to take his problem airborne. I might be wrong but that’s what the video looks like to me.

Ahh, he should've aborted the takeoff if he wasn't already going too fast to abort. An engine failure at 0 feet is infinitely better than an engine out at 100 feet.
But my real confusion has to do with the minimum velocity required to maintain control against the good engine. Assuming you get the plane into the air, how do you land the plane with an engine out if it spirals out of control below a certain velocity, but you have to slow down to land? Does it have to do with reduced power on landing meaning the minimum controllable velocity with an engine out is lower than it is with full power on takeoff?
