I assume you ruled out the Cessna 337, the Defiant and the Boomerang.

Yep, no centerline thrust.

IIRC, the Angel could do it. Certified, conventional tail in back low
wing, twin props on the wings but a pusher. But I think they've only
built one.

Could be. I'll bet there are not a lot of people out there that know what an
"Angel" aircraft is. I stopped and talked to the gentlemen who were trying to
get it produced, for a lengthy period of time. Only one produced, as of two?
years ago, but one interesting thing was, that they said it was certified.
Strange, for a one off to be certified, but if you believe them, it was.

As I recall, it's engines were fairly close to the centerline. Do you suppose
that is what would make it possible to take off with one engine?
