not sure why but I can tell you when

All of mine between my 12" prop on a fun fly to a 28" prop on the Edge does it when adding throttle to stop a tailslide during a torque roll or hover.

Kinda like revving up an engine while pulling the plane backwards on the ground. Never tried it but it might recreat it.
Maybe some physics guru or engineer could better explain it.

Default Rip

Most prop rip is caused when the speed of the prop tip exceeds about 80% of the speed of sound.

Excessive speed (RPM's) is one reason, another reason is prop tip flutter.

I had a very dramatic (and cool) demonstration of this on my 100cc engine. I put a 24/12 3 blader on it to try and when applying full power on the ground, you could actually watch the prop tips deflect about an inch forwards!

Prop flutter needless to say is not healthy for anything involved or effecient at all, but it sure sounds cool
