HI
Went flying this morning, first flight of the year, the engine was hard to get wet enough to start. Then finally got started, went up in the air, sounded funny (lean), engine just stopped in the air.
Landed deadstick, 5 or 6 prop bolts sheared off, bent spinner, gouged prop and trashed spinner.
People at field thought engine backfired, has anyone had this happen?


Thanks in advance

Bill
