Folks:

For those interested, we had an experience this weekend in our COZY
MKIV when the propeller decided to proceed along a different path than
the rest of the airplane. You can read the details at:

I didn't see the cause of the failure (I'm sure it was there but there
was a lot to read through). Could this have been one of the Hartzell
recalled hubs?

No cause identified yet. Catto three blade (composite?). Possible
blade separation or torque issue due to change in climate. Unknown at
this time. Pusher configuration.
