Rod Machado had a good article in Flight Training mag recently. He asked a
student how much the most expensive plane he would ever fly would cost.
After the student giving him prices of Lear jets and Citations Rod said
"Wrong. The most expensive plane you'll ever fly is about $1000-the cost of
the insurance deductable."

I've see reports of a belly landing in a twin where the Pilot shut the
engines down on final and used the starters to turn the props horizontal.
Belly landing did not cause any prop or engine damage.

I've read of guys killing themselves & passengers that way, because they'd
never practiced engine-out landings, or because they got too slow trying
to stop the prop(s), and stalled on final. So whatever you plan to do,
just make sure you practice it safely before you have to do it for real.
