I always meant to try this, now you too, shalll find out:

And it does!
The stall horn wails all the way, but you can establish stable level flight, and fly the circuit without incident.

Could've sworn I turned the prop all the way down, maybe it doesn't.
Windmills convincingly over 60 kts though.

I've always liked the look of the 336/337s... something appealing about it.
There's a USAF 02 on display at the Air Force Museum at Wigram.

The unfeathered rear engine and open cowl flaps won't be helping there Charl. As you say I'm not sure that the props do feather on that Carenado model. They should do.

Couldn't get them to feather- Caranado is a little erratic on what you get sometimes :D

I am fond of this old bird... I have binge-flown it in the sim these past few days and there's nothing quite like it.
That push-pull configuration disguises the fact that is a twin engine aircraft with proportionate capabilities.

No point in just sitting on my HDD so I'll just share the binge here

I'm a sucker for cheap sceneries that pop up on the sales, building up my E OZ library...
