THE PILOT WAS EN ROUTE TO A BEAN FIELD WHEN THE GROUND ADJUSTABLE PROPELLER CAME OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. THE PILOT DUMPED THE LOAD AND MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A BEANFIELD. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ADJUSTABLE FIXED PITCH PROPELLER ALUMINUM SLEEVE, THAT HOLDS THE PROPELLER IN A FIXED PITCH, SHEARED OFF IN FLIGHT.
