Mark is correct.  That's one of the reasons I went with the 
0-200.  It too may bite me someday but I'm guessing the odds are more 
in my favor.  I do practice "engine at idle" landings but I'm 
guessing that is not the same as a wind milling or stopped prop by a 
good percentage.  It does give me an idea of what a high sink rate 
looks like in my heavy KR with stock wings.   Practice makes perfect 
and, in so doing,  Mark has saved his bacon several times.  Good luck 
is often the result of practice and planning and Mark does both. :-)

Everyone's flying environment is a bit different.  Fly within your 
comfort zone..........
