Thats all and good aztrucker but if you lose an engine on the runway in a piston twin your not going to go anywhere.

Damed if I ever want to be in the position where I have to make that decision of closing the throttles with an engine failure before decison speed in a piston twin, but 80 knots or less on the ground and in control seems safer to me than trying to wallow upwards near Vmca with one donk and gear/flap out to try and miss a tree.

Piston twins do not have the performance when they turn into piston singles.
