RE: ALMOST LOST MY EYE TO A PROP
Good lord imagine the odds!? in the full 360 degree area the prop could shoot, and it shoots INTO your eye.. I'm sorry to hear anything like this happen. Thankfully the worst that's happened to me through the years is a pretty good slash on my arm from a brushless motor spinning a 3D prop, IMHO electrics are more dangerous then fuel driven props. First, they can start up instantly, and second, if a glow prop hits you, it will probably stall (after doing some damage to you!) but an electric motor will continue spinning as long as the ESC is telling it to!
