Thanks guys, that's good to hear. Did the prop overspeed and start vibrating? Did the engine eventually fail?

There's also the situation where the oil runs out (on an oil driven governor) before the prop can be feathered on a dead engine. This was also a very scary situation in a real aircraft with an overspeeding prop threatening to break free and come through the cabin. Not to mention the massive drag an un-feathered prop produces when it's free-wheeling.

Cheers
