We had a 'prop strike' on a three blader in an Arrow (due to pilot omitting to remove towbar.)

The propellor was destroyed : needed entirely new prop/hub, but the engine was not shock loaded.

The engine had been on condition due age at 1800 hrs so paying for a rebuild was a no- brainer.

And after 25 hours the engine is now running smoother than it ever did.........
