Simply making VMC won't suffice, unless you have enough excess power to

So I gather from all this that we can't find anything that says you "can't
take off" in the FARs?

I remember reading about a publicity stunt some manufacturer did back
in the 70s where they flew their aircraft a few hundred miles with one
of the props completely unattached to the aircraft/engine. I think it
was the Aero Commander 500, IIRC.


Actually, it was the prototype Aero Commander, back in the early 1950s.
They flew from Oklahoma to Washington, DC, with one of the props
strapped to the cabin floor.
