Does that work out well , without not too many difficulties ?
No worse than with a petrol engine, I would imagine. My old Beech C23 glided like an anvil. I doubt a Beaver would be much worse! The longest flight is around 50 n.m. most of it over protected waters, so a water landing should be feasible in the event of engine failure.
