Sycamore, as I recall, Steve Hinton's biggest problem when he crashed in Red Baron was the prop blades going flat when the Griffon seized. Thank God he survived a crash that turned the Mustang into confetti. When he stuck a Griffon 56 in a Spitfire PRXIX to go after a time to height record, he ensured he could control the prop pitch if the engine quit... he wrote up the story behind the Spitfire installation and was kind enough to let me nick it for the mag I was involved with at the time.
