## Discrepancy

OWNER REPORTED 5 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF AT 2500 ASL, ALL 3 PROPELLER BLADES DEPARTED.  THERE WAS ONE VIOLENT SHAKE AND THEN SMOOTH GLIDING TO SAFE LANDING OFF AIRPORT.  PRELIMINARY EXAM INDICATES ENGINE MOVED ENOUGH TO CAUSE CARBURETOR TO SEPARATE PREVENTING OVERSPEED.  SEPARATED BLADES WERE NEVER LOCATED.  PROPELLER TO BE REPLACED BY OWNER, THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL HOMEBUILT AIRCRAFT.
