Single-engine Endurance and Performance

[Cole5Oh5]

Load it up, then fly it the way you want. Fill it with sand bags, cement bags (they are readily available). Put in as much or as little fuel as you want. Then take it up to 5K, and shut down an engine. Don't go pansy on us, using the zero thrust thing, shut the engine down. Experiment with the various power settings. Then shut down the other engine. Oh, you might want to fire up the one you shut down first.
See if you can hold altitude at 2300 and 17 inches. Then move up from there.
Do the test pilot stuff your self.
Let us know if how you do. See if the POH can be ignored.
Make a video of all this, too. You can mount a camera so it shows the instrument panel. Looking over the left shoulder.
