RE: Close call, lesson learned! Will never do it again!
The spindle was bent but intact and all the bearing were still on the spindle. The plastic blade holder broke apart at the bearing location. I guess when you look at the amount of plastic holding on to the bearings, it isn't very much. But then again it wasn't designed for that much of an over-rev.
Fly safe. We also hear of tail blades letting go from time to time.
