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.


or even too tall grass...
