RV-8 Lost Prop?
I was looking at the preliminary FAA reports this evening and saw this one - an RV-8 that lost a prop in Oklahoma. It says the aircraft was destroyed, but injuries were minor. The FAA N-Number database isn't workign, so don't know who this is - here's hoping the injuries were truly minor! Anyone know anything about this unfortunate incident?

Maybe on the ground?
This might be a ground incident?

Looks like he lost one blade off a 3-blade wood prop and had to pull off the power.

My impression also. Lucky it didn't remove the engine.
Sure would like to know the propeller brand. There's at least one ground-adjustable wood prop brand with a history of throwing blades.

Love my Hartzell
I love every ounce of my 52 pound, nearly bullet proof, Hartzell. After putting the Hartzell on the front of my Christen Eagle through twelve years of propeller H*** without a problem, the decision to go Hartzell on the Doll was an easy one!
I'm so grateful that this RVer escaped without injury, and I hope his 8 can be repaired.

Best wishes to the pilot.
Who made the prop?

re: friend
Clint Hager of Prague, OK is afriend of mine. I think he had just taken off and a blade come off. He landed in a field and flipped over. It fractured one of his wrist. He is OK.
I'll post more when I find out all the details. One of his very close friends is my next door neighbor.
