You can rest easy there. If I got maimed in the Apaches I used to operate,
there was always worker's comp. No longer, so I'm not nearly so brave any more.

Now, the 150 hp has anemic single engine climb... Maintain the engines
like it is a single and it will not be an issue... Cruise is 130 knot
going cross country... I file IFR at 125 knots and have no problems
meeting my times.. Fuel burn is 17.5 gallons cross country... Local
flying burns less fuel because I pull the throttles back...
As I recall, the 150 hp has anemic multi engine climb as well.
