Walk around to the back of the plane and THEN remove the glow driver.
second that one! I've seen other people bleed from this one, they THOUGHT they were a safe distance... Think of your glow plug driver as completely off limits until you are behind the prop. the extra couple of seconds it takes to walk around the plane isn't going to drain your battery.
I had to learn that one the hard way. I have five parallel scars on the underside of my right wrist from reaching over the prop to remove the glow starter. The cuts were just a little more than scratches, but if my arm had been a couple of mms lower I hate to think of the results. Lesson learned.
