Read the full NTSB narrative
A propeller blade separated from the hub assembly during the takeoff initial climb. The pilot turned back for the runway, and made an uneventful landing. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector examined the glider, and noted that the engine had pulled away from the firewall, which was damaged. Prior to the FAA inspector's examination of the glider, the owner removed the propeller assembly. The aircraft owner declined to produce the propeller assembly for further examination.
