Default RE: Watch out for that prop!

Hi all

Here is a tip for the people that favour a heavy glove when hand starting an engine. Have a look at your local safety supply store and pick up a pair of “Power saw safety gloves”.
These gloves are what loggers wear when using a chain saw. The have ballistic nylon in them and will reduce the chance of being cut by quite a lot.
Another tip that works well is glue some 3/8 rope to the backside of your glove along the fingers and that too will soften the inevitable propeller whack….. bert
