I remember reading about a stunt somebody did back in the 50's with a Commander and they where able to take off on one engine. My point is that any A/C can T/O on one engine (notwithstanding bells and whistles) given enough runway. Remember that VMCG is calculated based on the remaining engine at T/O power but if the acceleration is gradual and T/O power isn't applied until you are beyond VMCG you will be able to maintain directional control. Now, this thread deserves a warning! DON"T TRY ANYTHING STUPID
