I had a free run today and after 15mins flight, made a sharp jibe and seems like a prop snaped because of that . Here is a video and a (quite) jerky slowmotion
Does it often happen to you guys ?

I have heard of this happening on CF tube arms near the motor mount. Some of the CF tubes are plenty strong along its length, but split near the mount.
I haven't had it happen yet, but I'm expecting it may happen on one of my wood frame designs. I'm using 3/8" light wood, and I'm flying it in spite of my calculations that it might break. I hope to have a video like yours soon ;)
