Let's see here...
Bent prop and attendant damage to reduction gears: $50,000USD minimum. Tear down Packard Merlin to check for crankshaft damage, rebuild while apart: $250,000 minimum. Inspect and repair airframe, including malfunctioning gear hydraulics: $200,000 minimum. New underwear for crew: $20. Is it any wonder why so few remain.
