Speaking of throwing propr and prop blades, how many remember the white nylon props???? Those were the worst props ever made. At the field I belonged to back then, late 70's we had so many fail that the club banned them. One guy got a blade through th shoulder. He hit the prop on landing, looked at itand it appeared fine until he started up again and it through it like a missle.

Dangerous clubs. One I was at to see if I wanted to join, had the safety officer fly his new .91 powered Fs Cub into the pits inverted. Another plane took off across the runway out of control because a guy turned on his radio with out the Freq. pin. The club VP was lighting his BBQ in the pits with all of the glow fuel around. I just did not feel to safe there. I could be wrong and it was just a bad day but I did not join.
