Verrrrry Interrrresting!
 
Notes:
 
At 180 Kts, we move about 305 feet per SECOND.  About 150 feet before a blade sees some feathery object (2-blade prop) every second.  It's the big sky theory, highly unlikely that the prop would halve the bird.
 
Early 320/360 kits had a 3/16" thick canopy whilst later kits had 1/4" material (fatter, more weight, stronger against chickens, etc.) - perhaps you are the beneficiary of the thicker canopy. 1/4" is quieter, too.
 
Before cleaning, you had the opportunity to perform the famous VooDoo "safety from losing" bird blood bath ritual.  Of course, you forgot, so you are destined to lose a race with lesser engined aircraft.  Too bad.
