The engine quits the prop stops !

This will only happen if the engine seizes. As Hilton stated, usually
you must
slow to nearly stall speed to stop the prop. One of the AOPA Pilot
authors ran
some empirical experiments with this and determined that, if you're
below about
6,000' AGL, you will not gain enough efficiency by stopping the prop
to make up
for the distance lost by slowing down below best glide speed. As
Hilton also
points out, there could be times when there are more important
considerations
than glide distance.

Thank you . You get the prize :-)
