Of the three times I have found a damaged prop on my MP, all three times it was a chip out of the trailing edge. Each time, it looked much like your photo. I know for certain it has never been shot at. Once, I believe it was a late manifestation of a previous encounter with an end table while experimenting indoors. I think it was a hairline crack I missed. Once, I think it was due to landing in grass. The last time, I saw what happened. I was correcting a landing while OA was disabled and accidentally hit a thin tree branch instead. In each case, I believe the leading edge skidded over the obstacle, exposing the most fragile part of the prop to the damage. I do not find trailing edge - only damage to be particularly strange.Good handling of that situation!
Im really curious about the prop damage- it was obviously hit by a gun, had you ever hit anything, it wouldn’t have been on the trailing edge of the prop. Has anyone else seen this type of damage on the trailing edge?
It is possible that the guy is holding a .22
cal pellet gun and not a shotgun- both are pump action, and you would not have heard that go off as easily as a shotgun Also, they could do that type of damage if its a lucky shot.
