As it should be if the engine had failed. unfortunately depending on things like speed, weight, temperature, skill of the pilot etc. even if the prop was feathered it is possible the airplane would still experience uncontrollable roll and yaw
Immediately after takeoff is pretty much the end all be all of worst times to experience an engine failure, and fully laden, even a turbo-prop aircraft with shaft-horse-power-o-plenty might not have the push it needs to continue it's climb out to a reasonably safe altitude.
Jet engines pumping out thousands on thousands of pounds of thrust on the other hand is a different story as seen here in this thompsonfly video
often times the yawing and rolling motion in such aircraft is negligible.
