Ouch.
There's a single engine safety speed, lower than this and the asymetrical thrust overcomes the ability of the rudder to hold the aircraft straight when rolling out of a turn. When one engine is off all turns are usually made towards the live engine so that the asymmetrical thrust helps to straighten the aircraft coming out of a turn. Turning towards the dead engine means the rudder has to overcome the asymmetrical thrust and straighten the aircraft as well, making recovery from a turn a lengthy business even if above the single engine safety speed.
Flying light twin-engined aircraft on one engine is a tricky business...
unless it's something like this...
Or you are flying Burt Rutan's Boomerang....

I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

While I was away on holidays I decided to take a nap after lunch. I went into the van and as I approached the bed I noticed a beautiful hot chick asleep there. I gently lay down beside her and gave her a gentle pat on the bottom in case I had disturbed her. Having drifted off to sleep, I was awakened about 30 minutes later by soft noises. Opening my eyes I saw a beautiful pair of eyes looking intently at me. BIG GOO GOO EYES!!! Four month old grand daughters certainly know how to win hearts!!!Signed...Poppy
