However, the video clearly shows the rudder cocked all the
way over and the ailerons cranked full left. Thats not normal. It is just still really heart breaking and I've always been bitter about the whole deal.


Roger Bitter, I know how you feel. What is the single engine safe speed on the A-26 (VYSE?)and how longh after rotation does it take to get there? I assume the thing is like the B-25 where there is quite a gap in the two. Unfortunatly these airplanes were designed to be wrecked if the engine fails before that point. Well not designed, but fated I suppose.
