But as they say RTFM.
Let us know what it was Graham.
Problem hopefully solved with the help of "Henry the Great"
It seems after changing prop from P PROP Woody to Warp drive,the Warp drive flexes enough to strike the fitting on the rear.see pics.
Strike Damaged steel protection strip on tip of prop.one blade only..
Moved my hangblock forward to give more clearence..have not test flown yet.
Hang block was full forward..fast setting....now middle ...presume will be a bit slower.(increasing prop tip and wing rear end clearance)
Looks like too much flex in warp drive compared to woody.will refit P Prop woody after service and balance.
Hang Warp Drive on wall.(untill suitable spacer made)
Remember
if it is not broken dont fix it.
If its not fixed..dont fly it.All i can say is that the "KNUCK" sound on take off that i thought was a stone strike could have been a shit load worse if the blade had snapped off.
Thanks be to the Lord and Henry who helped me sort it out.
