CSU Exit stage left.

Hi People!

Please refer to :-
Passengers' mid-air terror - National - NZ Herald News

This is the incident where a Trilander's port engine lost it propeller. The propeller attacked the fueselage removing the door and ripping apart a vacant seat.

So, this is the techlog, and I wanted to understand the mechanics of what happened. I'm not looking for a "maintenance issue" or blame but I want to know what would or *could* have let go and how it comes apart. This is genuine interest nothing more.

Starting basically, a small radio controlled aircraft had a prop on held on by a bold and nut. a little more complex where a CSU is involved. Can someone help me out on this one?

Thanks!
