its not a question of what a chicken stick does its what it doesnt do. it doesnt bleed it doesnt get stitches and basically it just doesnt hurt near as bad as a finger does. remember this is a hobby to be done for enjoyment not to try to prove that your finger is harder than a prop turning 12k rpm with nearly 1 horse power driving it. dont be in too big a hurry to feed your finger to the plane give it time it will probably happen any way the goal is to try not to let it happen today.
