I had a similar problem recently. Turns out the problem was prop pitch being 0% . No hardware problem, just me being an idiot! Crash landing resulted.

They say ("they" are always so smart) that the most common cause of crashes is pilot error. That's why pilots fly with checklists and such, takes the idiot factor away (mostly).

You're in good company, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry did that several times too.

Then again, maybe flying was not one of his strongest skills...
