RE: G3 versus reality?
Don't be disappointed with Hangar9, be unhappy with the mfg of the prop.
It's really not sensible to build an airplane, model or full scale, to strength specifications that would include the forces from such a massively unbalanced prop as you get when the prop sheds a blade.
The fact that you kept your head and got the wreckage down under control is something to be proud of. Excellent job.
