Does the Engstrom have a collective mounted throttle or a separate lever type control for the throttle?
Sasless,

I learned to fly in an Enstrom F28A. It had a collective mounted throttle and no correlator. I thought it was a great machine to learn to fly in. The A was gutless.

My instructor had me practice tail rotor failures, effectively stuck right pedal. I always thought that if I had a real one I would just shoot an auto, as we did a bunch of touchdowns and it autos like a dream. But a stuck left pedal, I can't remember practicing that one. Looks like he did a good job to me.
