I'll try to contact one of the pilots who ferried the O2's across the pacific. As was stated they did it on 2 engines at lower power settings. If there was an advantage to single engine cruise, I'm sure they would have used it. GMAS's data showed they was an efficiency advantage with both engines over the theoretical SE cruise. None of the FACS I've talked with flew SE to lengthen their patrol times or time over target. The military fleww the wings off these birds and I trust and use the procedures they did. Personally, my O2-A is a dog on one engine.
