Pioneer 1/72 Beech 18

Like everyone else, this makes the gears in my brain turn.

I have a friend with plenty of Beech 18 time. I might pass it by him if I remember.

I assume they are trying to hand-prop the dead engine :-) 

Some crazy Aussies maybe?

I see a bootload of rudder trim and some rudder deflection, and a whole lot of aileron deflection there.  What I don't see is an N number and if I was a Fed I would really be interested in that.  Smokey Joe must be flying that one.  I suspect the only thing that might be working in their favor is they are probably descending at a good rate to keep the speed up.

Okay Now !

 First off all that offside weight and the engine off . I hope to $%&& this is a photoshopped item !

Indeed!

There's no way those skydivers are getting back in! It's a wonder that the aircraft can fly safely on one engine, with all of that asymmetric drag. It doesnt appear that there's a lot of right-rudder either.

Is that what it takes to get out of a Twin Beech and not hit the horizontal?

Now that needs some explaining!
