Add an E to the end of the mnemonic for:-

EYEBALL moves down and physically checks that the throttle is CLOSED before doing anything else.



Actually the worst overspeed is lifting into the hover without the engine govenor on because it does more damage to more parts. Engine overspeed + spindle damage (far more expensive ...)
