That is PRECISELY why we're having this conversation.
Looking forward to your contributions,

Prop blade punctured fuselage, dented fuel tank and restricted
aileron movement. It nearly took out the brakes as well. The prop
had flown 38 hours

Missing blade

The flight manual says to check for cracks in the hub every day. This
is what a very badly cracked hub looks like.

There are photos I will try to put a link in.
