Starduster Too, first flight, busted prop
"Al" wrote in message ... "Cy Galley" wrote in message news:1Affg.756435$084.24840@attbi_s22... Any BLOOD? Might have hit a bird! I didn't see any blood, (see new photos alt.binaries.pictures.aviation) and it seems unlikely you'd trash both ends with one bird. Al, I have see something simmilar on an autogyro, a banson. Using a VW type engine with tow stromberg carbs. The plastic top and attached damper piston cam adrift and the prop struck it while running up to full power for a take off, the prop broke two out of three blades, they just shattered. When you look at the small size of the part that did the damage you could well understand the damage a stone could do or even a bird. -- .. .. Cheers, Model Flyer MS880B EI-BFR Al
