Aren't these supposed to be able to climb out on one engine?
It all depends. If it was a training flight and the instructor cut a mixture to simulate engine failure but failed to re-start quickly and set zero thrust on the simulated failed engine, the drag from the windmilling prop would prevent any reasonable climb
