From: "JonathanMilbank" Getting straight to the point, is there a "rule of thumb" for how much damage a propeller can sustain before a shock load engine strip-down is necessary? I suspect that the decision lies with the engineer making the assessment. Today a friend was flying his tail wheel RV6 in a strong crosswind on a tarred runway and while landing he was dumped by a gust while attempting to go around, perhaps over-rotated when pushing the stick forward and heard a sound like kerbing a car's wheels, as he described it. He didn't really feel a vibration, nor did he hear the engine note change. So it was a fleeting "brrrrt" on the tar and following the go around pattern flown, a later inspection showing no evidence on the runway surface. The engine is an IO320 (I think), the propeller is fixed pitch metal and last 3 to 4 inches of the tips are now curled forward through a full 90 degrees. My instinct is that a shock load engine strip-down isn't necessary in the circumstances, but what do I know? Very little indeed, apart from a slight recollection that damage like minor nicks in prop leading edges can be dressed out provided that they're not along the 1/3 nearest the hub. I look forward to your replies, thanks.

For those with good eyes, you will notice my static port issues. The altimeter went slightly negative on the TO roll and very annoying oscillations on the ASI and altimeter.

I've had a look through the manual but cant find anything.

I installed the Europa wing mounted pitot/static and it has been fine ever since. I think the original fuselage mounted static ports were the issue.
