These pics are very graphic, but I hope they serve as a reminder that these aircraft are not toys. I was at the field yesterday. Had a great time flying, even though my PT 19 wing broke in half on landing. Guess I should've inspected it more closely during the rebuild. Anyway decided to fly my morris hobby profile with the OS 55 AX. Got the enigine started and instead of walking around and disconnecting the glow driver from behind the plane I reached around the prop from the front. I got complacent and got bit hard. Good news is that, the prop basically filleted my thumb, missing the tendon. It took 60 stitches . Be careful, pay attention even with the smallest of props and planes. Take the time to be safe!!
Not fun!!! Get healed up ole timer... you'll be flyin again before ya know it!!
