Incredible pilot and camera man! So many people don't know how to zoom & track. Good job.
Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?
'Props'
Damn good pilot! notice how he immediately regained his air speed to make the landing. There were a lot of situations there where had that happened sooner he may have crashed as a result.

The pilot made it look like a cakewalk!
I can't begin to imagine what it was like being in the cockpit when the propeller gets ripped off. Even the noise would make me fill my pants.
What I thought was cool is that the absence of torque spin from the prop made his landing a little crooked until he had both wheels on the ground. IIRC the controls are configured to counteract that effect, so the controls were probably completely straight in the cockpit, but he was just a little crooked on the landing.
Like my mechanic always says, "Meh. You don't really need that part anyway."
Nailed that approach.
