R22 Corner

Scenario:
One pilot solo weighing 12 stone.
Needs to practice engine off landings.
Problem:-
Lower collective,governor off,wind off throttle,speed back to 60/65kts with right rudder.What happens next??
Well,rotor rpm decreases but collective is all the way down.Reducing speed further may help but only in the short term.
Only solution is to wind on the throttle and overshoot because the aircraft is too light with only one p.o.b.
Any ideas??????
Always take a busty blond when practising these exercises???
But what happens if it really quits when solo??
