I bought my Merlin second hand so don't know it's entire history. I have noticed a nut shaped dent in my wooden prop and it got me thinking.
I know of a wrench going through a composite prop on an RAF (take off aborted) prop was useless.
So I wondered what experience the "wise old men" have had, maps?, goggles? what was the damage? what was the prop?, did it bounce up into the rotor?, if so what was the damage , how high were you ?etc.
Thanks
