Used to own G BOWD in the late 80s. We bought it from a guy who had an engine seize(rear) on the approach into Newcastle. UK> Bought a new motor from T.W. Smith in the States and it cost as much as we paid for the new motor to de snag it in the UK. Eventually got it "right" and sold the plane on. Seem to remember doing a flight test way back then for the issue of a CofA. Climb performance would have been ok, and we would have used the front engine for that single engine climb test. Is the rear prop fully feathering as even a slow windmill can cancel any climb. Good luck with BOWD. We did, completing many long trips to Spain, Portugal etc.
