Mooney down NJ

What helped is it was a turf rw and it sounds like he firewalled the throttles before the props dug into the dirt. Can hear the tips contacting the ground. Curled the tips and amazing it climbed and made it to another airport.

Yes , buy until they actually stop , they will bend symmetric....Ehen I flew around , I thought I got it in time , until I shut down....

Even if only one blade would be bent,  the blades would still weigth the same...

Mass times lever arm. The arm would be different. That's what causes the imbalance.

But the mass would be different distances from the center of rotation.

Isn't there a semi famous video of a twin that almost geared up but struck his props before doing pulling back on the yoke?  He ended up flying to another airport with bent props IIRC.

i cant for the life of me see how he didnt stall it and spin it in.  Look at the AOA on that go-around.
