@cobrachoppergirl The props were controlled electrically by an automatic pitch control system, if the revs go too high, the revs get out of control, overspeeding can lead to oil pressuredrop/oil starvation/bearing damage. All bad news. In the film they tell you 15 secs is a long time to comit 1 hand to 1 control, throttling back was the answer, so that then you can pop the breakers back in. Hope this helps!!
