Default Why didn't the Cessna 337 make it?

It could happen and did. Engine loss on a rear engine twin can be very
deceiving, and it doesn't have to be a complete failure either.


I would think it would be easy (at least from the engineering perspective)
to display a big red warning light when the RPMs of the two engines differ
by more than a certain percent. Did the 337 have anything like that?


Ours didn't. Steam gauges only. EGT was the primary monitor on takeoff.
