When mine happened, I just remember the desperate desire to stand up.😁 I guess it was because all my windows were coated with oil. My brave passenger did an admirable job giving me patches to see through.
very well done Sir, Iv'e been a PPL for many years here in NZ and engine failure on take off has always been on my mind, You saved both your lives and that Plane with your expertise and that owner guy should have been thankful for your action, it just showed his true colors, an idiot! thanks for this post as it brings home the importance of being fully aware and alert and not being complacent. best wishes from NZ
Same thing happened to me about 2 months ago flight testing an experimental airplane, a valve seat came loose and started shaking the airplane and would not produce more than 2000 rpm. My first thought after landing was also carb icing.

What did you do? What altitude were you at?
