I think I remember hearing that the direction of the engines cancel each other out so there is little no P factor. On one engine, fairly close to just a standard single (of course without the trim correction).

There have been a number of accidents due to attempting takeoff with only the front engine running. Pilots 'forgot' to start the rear engine. Or the rear engine quit while taxiiing and the pilot didn't notice (prop not visible; didn't check instruments).

Good advice was to always start the rear engine first, get it running, then start the front. Check tachs, etc. before the T/O run.

Centerline thrust was a plus.

I know a guy who ferries planes for a broker. He has lots of interesting stories.

He doesn't like these much - He says neither engine has enough thrust to keep the plane airborne. If you lose one you're on glide slope to one shot at a landing.

Until I talked to him I thought they were cool.

Defeats the purpose of dual engines......dual headaches is more like it.

Ok, but as for the design, was it not inherently better than the typical twin? Bigger engines perhaps?
