When you opened the throttle with the prop missing, did the engine go
to really, really high RPM's (like redline plus) on partial throttle?

A number of folks have asked this question privately, and the answer
is (as far as I know) no, it did not. The throttle setting was low
already and I brought it back almost to idle as soon as I heard the
"BANG". I don't believe that the RPM's ever went above standard
cruise levels - about 2600-2700 RPM.

Here's where an engine analyzer with recording capability would be
useful, eh? I was thinking of getting the Dynon......
