BTDT, lived to tell about it.  Full left pedal so hard it felt like I almost broke my ankle when it hit the pedal stop.  Had an AO in the left seat, he just kept saying "there's the sun, there's the sun."  When we finally got it under control and landed I asked him, "W-T-F was that about?!?!?"  He said, "I was counting revolutions, you did six."  


Over torqued the aircraft (OH-58C) in the process.  The maintenance officer want to know how high the Tq got.  I told him I couldn't say, that when I had the presence of mind to check the Tq gauge it was coming back down through 102%.  He wanted to know why I wasn't "watching the guage?"  I told him I was a bit busy and had more important issues to deal with at the time.  He complained that he was now going to have to change out the T/R gearbox.  I told him I was good with that and walked away!
