A Mooney mechanic friend took a look at the pics and
he figures that it was a combination of the mass of
the engine, plus the sturdy steel cage in the Mooney.


Mooney has a steel cage?




Well, not a steel cage, but the forward half of the fuselage is a steel
tube structure, just like a cub.

Yep. Firewall to the back of the passenger area. Strange combination of
methods.

amazes me that there are no prop strike marks on the truck.
considering that it was almost airborne.
curiouser and curiouser.


Considering that a run-of-the-mil prop is advancing close to 6 feet per
revolution, and that the plane was nearly at take-off speed, that would
give a 3 foot advance before one of the two blades would hit anything.

From that wretched wreck, it would be hard to see if the prop hit one
time, or even two, and after that, there probably wouldn't be any prop
left to hit anything, if you know what I mean!

Yeah, but you are actually using math and logic.

Ah, OK. i hadn't expected the engine to have been part of the accident,
really. Even then, that's an amazing amount of damage. It's kind of the
equivelant of a beercan hitting a dumpster except for the engine. Amazing
the occupants of the Mooney weren't killed.


Bertie


Duh, a front engine aircraft hit a vehicle on take off run, and you don't
think the engine is going to be part of the accident.

No, sounds like you did, dumb ass. You think a Mooney can hit a vehicle at
take off speed, and do nothing but superficial damage. Priceless.
