Cool For a first flight...

.
... it was an "intersting task" for the test pilots - especially since the left engine stopped during flight (first smoke was seen at about 04:10 and the propeller stopped completely at about 05:05).

After all the landing with this "2-engined aircraft" was remarkably smooth...
