Nah, don't worry. It'll never happen to you.

Only hiccough I ever got was when the engine stopped (and the prop with it) during the landing roll. Spoke to the LAME on the phone and he reckoned that if I waited a bit and got it started it was probably some kind of vapour lock (which would not be an issue with a windmilling prop so isolated to taxi/landing roll).

Other than that 1200 hours behind Lycos and Conties without any real issues (touch wood).
