With some sh!t luck today my taylor mono nosed over in a hand propping incident, luckily at part throttle, and no injuries or other property damage
this was with a wooden prop, into the dirt, at part throttle, maybe 1/3rd at the most, the motor still turns over and doesnt seem to have any thing out of the ordinary in the compression strokes at each cylinder
question is other than putting on a dial indicator on the prop flange to check for excessive run out, what inspections might you guys do ? i was thinking a compression test might show a bent rod, but beyond that?
