Was it the safety wire? I can't imagine. Crankshaft broke? Crank flange cracked? To me, the most likely. Prop broke? Back in 2005, on a gear up landing, after inspection, my crank flange was found to have a 180° crack. However, this was not just a normal gear up. I landed. The landing felt hard. I took off again, came back around and landed a second time with the gear up. The plane climbed faster then usual with the Hartzell tips bent. -- Lorn H.
