Feb 20,1993 N 87400-- 415c ser# 573 72x48 beautiful Flotorp wood prop. c75/85 tapered shaft.
Little high on base leg, closed the throttle and things got quiet. Stuck the nose down and turned in. After three requests the Lord said OK and we sailed just over the fence! The wheels touched the first 6 feet of pavement and we rolled out ond off. After getting the nose down I realized there was nothing going around on the nose! The whole assembly, spinner and hub and prop departed the plane. Twelve people watched this event and the landing. One friend in his J3 spotted the prop in a pasture and another on foot retreived it. We had the prop back in twenty minutes ! Not even a grass stain! Located another hub, had it zyglowed, checked the shaft runout, it was fine and I've flown the prop more than 100 hours since. At Prescott Continental pres. said " We've had several like that, next question please?"
