ericdes said:I think the key element you stated in the post is that you had Carbon fiber props. They are well know to break upon impact compared to stock props.
Either the prop hit the prop guard and broke, or the prop hit the bird and broke. Is it also possible that for an unforeseen reason it unscrewed (?) and flew off? Maybe if it was rapidly descending in its prop wash, but highly unlikely, and in your case it wasn't .
I'd like to know that as well. I asked on the previous page but maybe it was missed: was the prop broken and the nut still in place? Or was the nut missing too?
