Re: ME109

The quick and simple answer is; the tips will bend forward if the engine is making power when the blades hit.
If the engine was at idle, the blades will bend backwards.

Re: ME109

Surely a ground loop would be more likely, where the tail comes round and the aircraft is for a moment going in reverse.

What happened to the photo - I cannot see it
