OK......since it has a "Catch" here's the answer

It seems as though nobody could argue against the point that with a dead
engine,
most light twins can not even MOVE in a straight line, from a standing
start. I
guess since most engines are outboard from the wheels, even brakes are no
good
at all, and that nosewheels will just slide sideways. Of course, rudders
are no
good at that speed.
Navajos' nose wheel steering is connected by rods to the rudder pedals. It
is easy to take-off on one engine. Free castoring nosewheels can be a bitch
if not impossible. AeroCommanders and C-310s can be done. The secret is that
as you speed up, the circle gets bigger and bigger.
