Also, you have the wrong property name in your pitch control, it should
be "/controls/engines/engine[0]/propeller-pitch" not
"/controls/engines/engine[0]/pitch"

The second high/low statements are probably overwriting the first,
therefore you can't control control engine[0] only engine[1].  Since the
single engine planes ignore engine[1] settings you can't control them at
