Default Lost One Yesterday

I have about 500 hours in light twins, mostly in a Baron. They are a great
handling airplane, and mine has known ice. No it does not fly as nicely or
is as responsive as a Bonanza or Extra, but it is a stable IFR platform that
cruises at 175K. I have no problem flying it over Lake Michigan. Dual
electrical systems and vacuum supplies are also nice- in other words the
same arguments of single versus twin.

Yes, you do have to stay on top of it if you lose an engine when you're
rotating. I did a number of these at Flight Safety, and it was clearly a
worthwhile experience. Losing an engine during other times of flight is more
of a procedural problem than an true emergency.

Besides, flying upside down isn't a challenge- it's recovering that can be
difficult.
