Yeah, the joke among Pitts pilots is that the reason we carry keys is so that if the engine fails you can drop them out the canopy to see exactly where you're going to land.

I seem to recall reading that the only thing with wings worse at gliding, was the space shuttle...
and that was described as having the gliding trajectory of a brick outhouse. [NASA's actual wording was 'near ballistic'.]
