:D :D :D

OK, I can see the prop damage being the culprit; but HOLY CRAP, how long does it take to figure out you are chopping a damn plane in half?

That does suck!
I speak fron experience on this issue. My father had a single engine Beech Sierra that looked the same when he returned from his meeting! Only fron the front. didn't hurt the motor, but shredded all the wiring. Some guy had a dead battery on his Piper cub and had his wife/gf hold the brakes while he prop started it. Great idea, bad outcome. She did not hold the brakes and it finally stopped when it hit my dad's plane!:mad: :confused:
Actually, though it was a blessing in disguise. His insurance paid big money for the plane, and he bought a new twin engine Baron!! We still have the Baron today, 22 years later.
