NTSB accident and incident record under N168RW
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Wolf SMITH M/P DSA-1 · serial R.W.1
An inflight propeller blade separation, and a subsequent evasive turn to avoid traffic by the pilot at an inadequate airspeed resulting in an accelerated stall. Factors were excessive power output of the installed engine, an aircraft taking off in the opposite direction of the landing runway, and the aircraft's low altitude at the time of the stall.
