On May 15, 2002, approximately 1738 central daylight time, a Nolan RV-4

homebuilt single-engine airplane impacted the terrain during an

uncontrolled descent near Jonesboro, Arkansas.

. One propeller blade was attached to the hub, and one propeller blade was
separated from the hub>

Sounds like the prop blade separated and the engine was ripped out because
the motor mount failed.
