Re: What would you do in this situation??

Following from the book Voyager relates a story about Jeanna Yeager in a Long-EZ:

"...I really had the engine cranking when I lost about 60% of one prop blade. The vibration was terrific-it shattered instruments and punched holes in the engine cowling."

And this was a little aircraft with a little engine and a timber prop.
