Dunno about the 757 (guess its the same), but on the 767 in eng out crz, double the fuel flow and that equals the amount of rudder trim needed to fly wings level.
As mentioned before, the speed brakes are a primary control, unlike on the 747 where they are secondary.
The 757/767 has phenominal power to weight ratio, and you can get some pretty high nose att on t/o. On the 767 if you subtract the first two numbers of you weight off 30, it gives you a pretty accurate nose angle to maintain to hold V2+10/15 eg
weight 160 t
t/o angle = 30 - 16 = 14 degrees.
However that said our domestic ops can get into the 20 degrees + att which is screaming.
Enjoy it, the 757/767 are great planes to fly, very responsive and are truely the sports car of the sky <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
